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.

It's a very nice school but i sometimes wish i didn't go there anymore mainly because the environment has gone downhill because of new staff

High School was a struggle all on its own, however, the faculty that worked there made education worth learning. They made me want to be more. My professors and advisors made the school what it was, not the students, or the majors or the technology. The faculty is what made the high school so amazing, thar is what I loved most about Rosa L. Parks.

I am a recent alum of Rosa Parks and I have to honestly say the four years I spent at this school was something special. We got a chance to be more creative than the other high schools in our area and embrace the artistic talents we possess whether it be writing, singing, dance, art, and many more. Being that we are a small school everyone is very connected with each other from freshman to faculty. It was truly a great four years.
