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.

My four years at Parry McCluer high school has been decent. The administration and staff have been nothing but kind and helpful. I will miss the school after graduation.

Parry McCluer High School has been the best and worst experience of my life. High school is supposed to be fun, and I feel as though Parry McCluer deprives students of that. The teachers are amazing, and the community loves each other dearly. I know I will always be welcome back.

They cancelled the winter dance because no students wanted to go (only 3 signed up) and now everybody is saying they are going to not go to prom neither.
