Park Middle

Antioch sits at the eastern edge of Contra Costa County, where the suburbs give way to the Delta, and Park Middle serves a community that's working hard to move the needle academically. Families looking for a school with some upside — particularly in science, where Park shows more promise than its overall numbers might suggest — may find it worth a closer look, especially if they're engaged and ready to stay involved in their child's education. For families already rooted in the area, the school reflects the everyday, real-world character of Antioch itself: unpretentious, diverse, and full of potential that rewards effort.
