GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Hi! I'm a student at Parkwood Middle, and this school is so underrated. Obviously I can't speak for all students, but my experience so far has been great! I love all the teachers at this school, and they make school fun. Love Parkwood and go Bears!
