Niche grades and rankings are calculated using dozens of public data sets and millions of reviews.

Every month, millions of students and families use the Niche grades and report cards to find the right school or neighborhood.
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.

I liked the connection that the teachers had with the students. Most of the teachers had excellent connections with the students, which helped them in their classes. However, I would like to see more college readiness in the future. During my time at PMHS, there was little to no college readiness.
