I''ve had three children enrolled in Parkview and I am so glad that my final child has opted to NOT attend there. Their buses are horrendously late, often. The girls softball coach should not be coaching... anything. And the teachers don't seem to know, or care, what goes on in their own school. Academically, I''m guessing, it's a good enough school. Surely it wouldn't get such high praise otherwise. But if you''re looking for a school where you can maintain peace of mind that your child is cared for as they should be, I would recommend that you look into other schools.

I am a new student at parkview. I am a witness to this school being the best by chocie. My friends that do not attend parkview says that our school is boring and drama free because we literally have about 2 fights a year...so I guess that's good. we are very high in the state aand nations test scoring and our principal takes no excuses. If you or your child is not serious about their education or their talent then we do not want you and students will not except you. If you want to learn how to be apart of something great then come on in and let's get busy!. :)
