Class Rank
Parkland High School does not publicly report class rank, and we will not recognize a valedictorian and salutatorian. Instead, the top 2 – 3% of the graduating class will be acknowledged during Commencement.
Grading System
Parkland High School uses a three-tiered grading system. This system awards students for taking the most rigorous courses. Shown below is the three-tiered quality point system.
