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.

The best part about Park Hill is the events that the schools have. The worst part is going to school itself. I would like to see more parent involvement

In my experience with the Park Hill School District, which I've attended all my academics, and not on my senior year; I would have to say sadly that it has made a decline. This used to be one of the top rated schools now I feel there is not enough teachers and people to offer help for students who are struggling in certain areas of learning. The counseling department does not get enough recognition for what they offer and can do for students. The staff has not been as mature as my I remember in the past.
