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.

parkland became worse as i stayed there being a student mainly because of how students were behaving which affected the entire school , the teachers, administrators, having random metal detecting checks , having to wait 15 minutes after class before people could go to the bathroom just because people were skipping class or using the bathroom to smoke , they started taking attendance more seriously , a lot of students were coming to school late after 10 days they were kicked out of parkland

I would like the administrators to be less tough on students overall I like their school and love the wrestling program, If there were anything I could change, it would be to let the students choose their teacher because there is more than one teacher who I think and most people agree on that does not need to be working with students. other than that, I love the school.

This school is a joke. The staff are far to focused on minute things. They make the rules up as they go. Depending on who the student is, is a factor in whether or not a student has violated dress code or some other rule. If a child does not follow their BLIND OBIEDENT RULES they are target and verb...
