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 has always felt welcoming with staff that are easy to approach.I can always talk to the office faculty if I have any questions or concerns.

I loved my experience with cheer, and all the extra curricular opportunities that came with being on the team for 4 years. The administration received high marks from me because my senior year, my father passed away. All of the teachers, counselors, and admin made sure to support me and ensure that I graduated on time, although it was hard for me to even get out of bed to attend classes at times. I'll be forever grateful to them for the compassion they showed me during this time.
