School Overview

Parkland High School sits in the western suburbs of Allentown, in a part of Lehigh County that feels distinctly suburban without being too far removed from the energy of a real city. The school consistently performs well above the state average, particularly in English, making it a solid choice for families who prioritize strong literacy and communication skills alongside a well-rounded academic experience. It tends to attract families putting down roots in communities like Wescosville or Cetronia — areas with good housing stock, easy highway access, and a genuine sense of neighborhood identity.
