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.

They had different work pathways you can take in life, downside is art isn't an option. Park has a problem with getting kids to attend class.

The best part of going to Park High School was my friends and our choirs. The choir was basically like family and really made a huge positive impact on my life. The worst part of going to this school would have to be the amount of gang affiliations and fighting that happened every other day. I'd like to see the school put more effort into bullying programs and to most definitely help troubled students get on a better path in life.

Park High school's teachers are one of the most passionate teachers I have seen in a while! The principal there makes an effort to get to know as many students as he can on a personal level and has really worked hard to create a positive atmosphere inside the school!

Park is pretty below average but just like any public school you choose your own path. You can get caught up in bs or you can try your hardest while your there. And if you care you will have plenty of teachers that will care with you if you don't it's the total opposite.
