Parks’s public schools outscore 58% of Arizona districts

The grade covers the public school district serving Parks, from kindergarten through graduation, on state tests. Each state writes its own tests, so this is the one TownRatings grade compared within Arizona, not nationally.

From Arizona state tests taken in spring 2022, when 98% of students in the tested grades sat them, and the class of 2020’s four-year graduation rate, as reported to the U.S. Department of Education.
