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.

Parkrose high school has been an amazing place to spend my four years of high school. I have made some of my best friends there because of the programs that they have. While we have had our issues with funding, we have not lost our spirit because of it. My favorite programs in the arts program and dance/cheer. I would like to see more of a support of our srts department as much as people support the sports teams. Like having as many people come see the concerts or performances as the come see football games and other sport games.

From my experiences at Parkrose, i've been shown a lot of parent involvement and diversity. I'm on the high school dance team, so my coach is always fighting for us and making sure we get what we need.

I like Parkrose because I believe that at another school it could be way worse than what I have already experienced. Parkrose does provide lots of diverse communities but the environment continues to become very isolated. I believe there are lots of support systems but I don't go to them very often.

I graduated from Parkrose High School and I cannot imagine graduating from anywhere else. I have not only learned how to excel academically but also socially. Being exposed to so many different backgrounds and cultures, I am able to communicate and build relationships at a much deeper level. Do not...
