The school provides a safe, comfortable environment for the children and volunteers. I love that there is still a country feeling to the school, yet the structure is progressive by being an IB school. I appreciate the staff for all that they have done for our family. We highly recommend Parkside.

I have two children; one in Parkside and one that graduated last year from Parkside. I feel that the campus is very safe; I feel that the teachers are on top of their game and give their "all" in the classroom. I have gotten to know the teachers and all of the Parkside staff well. I know that Parkside is providing my kids and all the other children the best experience possible. Adam Dillon

My son has gone to Parkside since kindergarten as a interdistrict transfer student. His kindergarten teacher was excellent with him and was very helpful in helping him through his fears about school. I have been a aide in all of his classes. He had some problems in the beginning with bullying and fighting and these issues were addressed immediately by the principal, teachers and other staff. They were fair and understanding and gave us great ideas to help my son through this period. I am so glad that he has been allowed to continue going to Parkside, he is now in the 4th grade and doing so much better thanks to the staffs help and understanding.

I could not imagine my daughter going to any other school. Every teacher my daughter has had has helped her thrive as a student. I love the opportunities for parents to be as involved as possible with their child's education. We have been nothing but pleased with the education that our child has received.

My son attends Park Side School, and I would NOT send him anywhere else!!!! It is rather disturbing that someone would write a review of this school stating some crazy notion that "bullies would not be disciplined and no apology would ever be made." What is even more disturbing is the statement regarding teachers and the principal turning a blind eye to the situation. As a parent , I have to say that this individual and the families they represent, have not spent time in this school because this is the most bold faced lie I have ever heard! I have been a volunteer at this school for almost 3 years, and i can safely say that the ENTIRE staff gives 110% to these children to ensure their safety, happiness, and most of all, a well rounded educational program. WAY TO GO PARKSIDE!

My son went to Park Side School and loved it! All of his teachers were great and very dedicated. They work hard to make an exciting learning experience which includes art, music and a lot of science.

As a weekly parent volunteer I am on campus and have gotten to know the staff and students at Park Side over the past 3 years. I can honestly say that I am proud to be part of a diverse community where not only academics, but social and emotional development is part of the daily curriculum. My children have thrived while part of this educational program.
