The teachers are wonderful and do so much for the kids. My kids are excited to go to school everyday. They do alot of hands on projects and go on lots of field trips. They are even taking their 6th grade students to Canada!

Both of my children have attended John P Parker. My family can't say enough about how much we love this school. The teachers are so helpful and encourage parent engagement. We love the Global Environmental Literacy focus that the school has and everything the kids get to experience. They have gardens, vermicomposting, hydroponics and in preschool the classrooms learn all about taking care of pets. The teachers do an incredible job of working with special needs kids. My son has health issues and they have been an amazing support for him. The school nurse is absolutely a God send! 100% send your kids to John P. Parker.

There is a lack of communication between teachers/parents. The secretary is RUDE beyond belief, and seems hassled by anyone who stops in the office for information regarding their child. I don't think that type of negative attitude is acceptable for someone who works around children, and is responsible for greeting guests. As a parent, I'm not satisfied with my child's learning experience here, for one, my child never has homework. This is not a school I would like my child to continue to attending, if you value your child's education, I would not recommend this school at all.

My child attends this school but this will be his last week there. So far he has been there for the 2010-11 school year and so far he has not been on not one field trip. They dont make learning a fun experience. Staff seem to have no point, they leave kids sitting around, negative attitudes and this makes the school a negative atmosphere. I would NOT recommend your child to this school.

I am a college student who was recently placed in John P. Parker (Dec. 2009) for a 20 hour field experience. I left the school each day feeling physically ill, my nerves were shot and I felt so sorry for the students. Every teacher I came into contact with SCREAMED all day, there was no positive discipline or positive redirection. I was only there for 20 hours and I never want to go back, I can not imagine spending grades K-8 in that building. The building itself is very nice, but the teachers are flirting with verbal abuse. I have told everyone I know about this experience. I would encourage anyone who can get their children out of that school and into a charter school to do so.
