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.

What I liked about A.H. Parker High School is all the different learning opportunities, different programs to join, different events to enjoy. Parker high school was all around the best. What I'd like see changed is the participation. To make things exciting you have to participate.

One thing I like about my high school is how determined my entire school is and how much of a great principal we have. Our school was on the failing school list last year, but with the help of class 2020 we was able to get off the failing school list and we are now a top choice school. My principal made sure every body had the right resources and during lesson plans made sure we were doing daily bell ringers and ice breakers. One thing I'd like to see change is more sports added such as tennis and golf. I think those sports will make a huge difference at my school.

Through my 4 years in Highschool I tried to make it my best experience.I joined SGA and played softball and in spare time I became closer to my fellow students and teachers.I enjoyed it,but the only thing I would change is the level of participation with other sports other than football to bring a different group of students together.
