I am super impressed with the new principal at Parkway. The way she has consistently communicated with parents since the beginning of the school year is a breath of fresh air. Her weekly newsletter keeps parents informed about the weekly schedule and upcoming events. The school has a welcoming environment as teachers genuinely care for their students. Both of my kids attend Parkway and they can’t stop talking about their teachers and how much they care about them. My kids are learning in class and the environment is safe. I would definitely recommend this school to parents.

My sons attend this school and the family engagement opportunities are awesome! The You can tell the principal and staff love the students! This is such a great shift for my kids.

The teachers and staff (and volunteers) are really dedicated and trying to rally the community behind this school. They host community events for the holidays for the students and the neighborhood children. My child has made friends, memories, and every day learns something new. The school is in need of upgrades but if the parents vocalize at the PTO and school board meetings maybe we can enhance the school and make it even better. Ms. Wright (KG teacher ) is fantastic and keeps me updated on my child’s progress and behavior. She is dedicated and a driving factor in my child’s success. This school is on its way to the top.

Moved out of the neighborhood to get away from this terrible school. Discipline is a major problem.

Discipline is my number one concern, there is none. So my kids suffer and lack education because teacher has to stop for those kids who have no respect for teachers and other kids that do want to learn.

Terribly dissapointed that so many teachers spend more time disciplining. Then teaching.. My heart hurts for my child that he is stuck here till we can afford to move. Some teachers are great but way to many uncaring parents. Plain to see that the staff looks defeated. FYI: so many children from section 8 housing go here. So many parents let their children wonder all over the place. I see kids as young as 3 alone without supervision & when I drive by the kids curse and throw things at my car for no other but their families are not there to watch them.. Please pray for them and us. That there will be change in gods name I pray.

This is by far the worst school I have ever seen in my life! I have tried to let my daughter finish the school year but I am taking her out, the teachers are over ruled by students , the kids are terrible, tons of bullying going on here. my child is continually struggling because the teacher is not able to care for children's needs the way they should, not to mention they allow my parent involvement and never do anything for the students ! I'm am outraged that my child has to be around children cursing and showing their privates in class. When we they fix this school???

This school is out of control, and it starts at the top. The school board likes to just replace the administration from bad to worse. There is no PTA, and parent involvement is discouraged. The teachers are over worked and battered by their bosses and the students have no advocates. Bullying and poor behavior is condoned, gifted and talented kids are left by the wayside. We transferred out.. Oh and the principal loves to blame the ethnicity of the school for it's problems.

I've been waiting for this school to get better but I am not seeing any improvement. It's not all the school's fault. This school has WAY to many kids. The teachers have a few too many kids in each classroom. Poor teachers. These teachers deserve a high recognition. My children have had several teachers in this school and they were all wonderful teachers! If your child has a special need I wouldn't recommend this school. I have met several parents that wish this school would offer a more special ed services. A friend of mine has an autisitic son and this school wouldn't even provide a bus for him to go to a public school that would provide the services he needs. All they did for him was put him in speech and occupational therapy. They didn't even give him a teacher that would follow him around so he could get the one on one teaching that he needs. This friend of mine has now moved districts so her son is now receiving the education he needs and deserves.

This school has SOME good teachers in this school. Everytime I visited the school there was always a teacher over reacting about silly stuff but when it was something more serious they would get the asst. principle would just make the kids that misbehaved follow him around all day. there was no detention or anything for those kids. The Principle was always coming and going. I felt like she wasn't there enough to know what the heck was going on with HER own school. The poor teachers had to deal with crazy kids and crazy expectations from the administrators. They always change something and add more work on top of the teachers trying their best to provide the best for our kids. If I didn't have to send my kids here...I WOULDN'T.
