So far Parkland has been a wonderful experience. Our child is new to Parkland this year, and has flourished socially and academically. We hear nothing but good things about her teachers, fellow classmates, and our experiences with them back up her claims.

Parkland is an amazing school because of the teachers and the administration. We are new to the school and it's been fun with authentic learning.

Parkland teachers are wonderful. The Administration is yet to be desired. After meeting with Principal Adams, he does not seem to concern himself with the well being of all students. Adams blamed me, as a parent, for allowing my child to participate in chorus & band rather than addressing the issue of students being pulled from core classes to attend extra band/chorus lessons twice a week. Adams spoke after a chorus concert, encouraging parents to support the arts, but as a principal, Adams does not support core subjects by allowing those that participate in "the arts" to attend all core classes. By the end of each year, a student has missed an equivalent of 2 weeks of all scheduled classes for extra band & chorus lessons; one week, of which is from core classes such as math, science, language arts, and social studies. I am amazed that this is even an option and the School Board allows this.
