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.

I moved to a new neighborhood and Park middle school was the first middle school with a very white population. There was not a lot of diversity but with the students in my grade we all felt a connection to each other and enjoyed each other's company. Each class was so much fun as we grew with the students from 5th to 8th grade. The teachers were hard but fair and the classes were so interesting. One aspect that I miss is the sports, art and intro to tech class. The school has such a big focus on math, English and science that they are forgetting the students need to be creative to grow and develop as well.
