save yourself while you can. This school was the reason for my trauma. The school only cares for kids who put money into the school. They threatened to suspend and send my friend to a conversion camp because of RUMORS ONLY. Do not go here, no matter what.

honestly i do not like it, the school claims to be college prepatory, and the label their baseline classes as CP (or college prep) and then come senior year i get into calc and the teacher claims that its a college level class just slowed down. For refrence i have never taken an honors, dual enrollment or AP level class so i was not ready for calculus being a college level class; even though parkview claiming to be a college prepatory school. overall they failed at trying to prepare me for college, whereas some subjects i feel like Im learning a great deal, in others it just feels pointless.

Its just an okay school. But for the money its is disappointing. The school is relatively 'new' for school years (began in the '80s) so maybe one day they'll figure it all out.

My daughter is in kindergarten at PBS and we love it! The faculty and staff treat us like family. She is academically challenged and spiritually fed!

I conducted a very structured and detailed search for a private school for my children. Some of the factors that were important to me were: academic excellence, a quality and diverse athletic program, a rich fine arts program with a variety of performance options, international travel opportunities, and most importantly, an environment conducive to spiritual development. Parkview delivers above and beyond my expectations in every category, and all at a price well below other private schools my family considered. Whatever your perception of Parkview Baptist is, I would encourage you to do your own research and visit the campus. The numbers don't lie, and you will feel at home the moment you experience the Parkview difference.

We made a change to Parkview after many years at another school. We have been nothing short of significantly impressed since the day of our initial tour! Parkview has lived up to all of our (very high) expectations and we are thrilled with our son's progress. He loves the school and his interactions with his teachers and the staff. We could not be more pleased.

My kids have been at this school for the past 4 years and we have been so pleased with the overall experience. The balance of academics, arts, athletics and the spiritual aspect are what I love the most. My children love waking up going to school, have never said an ill word and are genuinely happy everyday at this institution. I would recommend this school for anyone, whatever your child excels in, Parkview would be a fantastic fit.

We started with Parkview Baptist School last school year after several years at another local private school. We were welcomed with open arms. Our children had no trouble adjusting to their new school and making new friends. I love that Parkview makes sure each new student has a buddy for the first week of school, not only to help them learn their way around, but to make sure they are not alone.

Many of the other parents have stated and I would like to reiterate that lack of cultural sensitivity and racial tension present at PBS. These issues are heightened when you factor in the discord between the "school side" and "church side." These two entities do not work well together thus making it a very tense situation. Additionally, our child was often punished due to the behaviors of another minority student. We were told by other parents in the classroom that in fact it was not our child that had created the issues and it was another child of the same racial background. However, when the powers that be were made aware they chose to ignore this. It seems that with this "Christian" institution their definition of Christianity is limited to those who are affluent and of European decent. The following are a list of concerns we brought to the schools attention and to date have received no response:• Lack of communication regarding unscheduled school closures• Failure to communicate effectively regarding concerns for our child.• Refusal to allow a parent/teacher conference regarding an allegation against our child• Failure to provide alternative snacks or advise us that we were allowed to provide alternatives on days that items were served that our child had allergies or aversions too Please note that upon enrolling we advised of allergies a• Receiving “behavior notes” for things such as “child was frowning”• Failure to provide written guidelines and procedures adopted by the school regarding appropriate responses to student behavior thatmay require immediate intervention(s) such as timeout and seclusion• Negligence in complying with Louisiana R.S. 17:416:21In fact, our efforts to resolve were totally ignored and our toddler was called impulsive by administrators. Additionally, when questioned about things the administration becomes very defensive and combative. Our follow-up attempts to speak with anyone above administration went completely unaddressed. However, they were consistent with attempting to brainwash our child into thinking the sole purpose of attending Parkview was to be an athlete.I could go on and on. Typically I am totally against the "race card" however in this situation "a spade is a spade."

I have to cosign with the other parents as far as the privileged students and the favorites getting away with a lot. I haven't really experienced the racial aspect of the school but I have seen that it is definately a lack of understanding when it comes to the minorities there. If you have a problem with anything, the staff is slow to react or doesn't respond at all.

Parkview is one big family! The teachers go above and beyond to help their students succeed.

Not diverse and all and they don't care that they are not! Teachers are not trained in reality just bible verses. Early Learning Center grades pre-k and kindergarten definitely need to get rid of the tenured teachers . I hope they emplement a cultural diversity board to deal with the wide range of religions and ethnicities at this school. When they do that the school would be better. There are also some kids here that are definitely bullies but continue to remain in the school because of who there parents are. This school is very unequally yoked when it comes to sports and academics.They need to deal with the racial issues at the school as well and stop hiding it under the rug. Unfortunately, it will get to the news before administration handles it. They need to bring in an outside person for diversity training.

The administration is always polite and agreeable, however, there's very little follow through on suggestions that may help improve the school.

Parkview baptist school is where we have always felt a part of a family. The caring atmosphere along with the excellent academic curriculum makes Parkview an incredible place for our children to flourish. We could not be more happy.

My children have been at PBS since 2001. I have a PBS graduate (who received TOPS) and 2 who are currently attending. Over the past 14 years, they have been involved in a variety of programs offered by PBS from sports, fine arts, social clubs, bible studies, and more. My children are being spiritually, socially, and academically prepared to be college graduates and contributing members of society. Our teachers and administration are approachable and interested. All four of our division heads and our superintendent have children who are either graduates of PBS or are currently attending. I feel like they have the same expectation of excellence as a "regular parent". Parkview Baptist School is the best place for my family. Teachers and staff are engaged and enthusiastic about teaching. I am thankful that prayer and worship are daily activities.

My children both have teachers that care and do the best they can with what they have. I think the administration at this school has a very very long way to come. They are too relaxed and don't have qualified people in positions. My advice to any and all parents is to ask questions. Ask how many kids graduated with tops in 2014 and 2015, ask about national merit scholars, ask if the superintendent is following these kids to see how prepared they are for college, ask if they are requiring their teachers to do continuing education classes. For a school that is supposed to be a college prep school with one of the highest tuition rates in town I think you will be left with your mouth gapping open its as we were. The superintendent will not and does not respond to questions, calls or emails...alarming. The teachers are not held accountable therefore like us if you get a good one be extremely thankful, we had fabulous teachers. But I am so happy we asked the questions above because after getting answers we were able to pull out children and know that we are confident our dollars spent on an education elsewhere.
