I think the school board needs to academically review teachers at this school. I am a very unhappy parent, my son attended school 2 years here and it was terrible. Before I moved him he was almost failing 5th grade. It came to me as a shock becaues I was never told or warned up until they said he is failing. According to this school he was not meeting his grade level. I decided to switch him schools and it has only been 2 months and my son has made student of the month. Took state test and met all required scoring.

I am more frustrated and disappointed with every interaction I have with this school. Parent involvement is not wanted here. Their policy seems to be to do whatever it takes to keep parents out. First, smile, nod and say whatever they want to hear to get em to leave and if that doesn't work, treat em like a criminal and they'll leave for sure! And this is where I'm supposed to leave my child? Teachers lie to your face about what's happening in the classroom, the administration can't figure out what they're doing, tell you to jump through hoops, then tell you you're not allowed to be there. It's not just incompetence, it's a lazy disregard of parents.

This School is bad, bad from its inept administration, to its neglectful teachers. My child is constantly bullied and despite talking to teachers and staff nothing gets done other than blaming and punishing the student that is the victim. When you go up the chain of command for the district you get passed around because no one wants to do anything. This school needs a complete overhaul from the top down and accountability for their actions.

My child has had difficulties academically since 5th grade and the Principal and Vice principal have done nothing to help. The 5th,6th, and 7th grade teachers are a joke. They do what they want with no recourse. When questioned they blame the student for not learning and that's that. Collect your paycheck and go home is their motto. We won't be back. Sadly we pay taxes and have no say.

This school is horrible! It was our first year in a public school and my kids had a horrible experience. They do not assist when children need help academically, the administration is horrible at resolving issues and there is no discipline of students. One child had severe issues with bullying and the principal did basically nothing but get defensive. One year was more than enough, we will never go back.

The administration at this school is below acceptable. There is not any discipline, and when the principal is dealing with students, which is not often, she is rude and uncaring. When interacting with parents, her disapproval for the teachers is obvious in her lack of support for the teachers.

Front office is great! I am pleased with my daughter's Kinder teacher, we couldn't have asked for a better teacher!

The front office staff is amazing. It is clear that they care about the children as if they were their own. Arrangements to pick up my daughter fell apart at the last minute causing my daughter to have to wait in the office for some time. Although I knew she was in good hands I was still feeling very anxious and worried. It was very relieving to find out from my daughter that the staff made her wait as pleasant as possible. The Attendance Clerk, Rebecca Lopez, went as far as to get my daughter a package of Pop Tarts for a snack. I felt terrible that my daughter had to wait but it is great to know that I can count on the teacher and staff team at Parkview Elementary.

My grandson was attending another local school and just wasn't happy. Since he came to Parkview he is alot happier and learning more. Mrs. Amos is patient with all the kids in her class. I will say on Grandparents Day it was a little unorganized. It should have been held in the cafeteria and not each classroom. Some grandparents had students in several classes and didn't get to visit with them due to the small window of time given to meet in each classroom. Front desk people are very friendly and helpful. Parent involvement has room for improvement.

Parkview is a great school! I don't agree at all with some of the other reviews... Parkview has very caring teachers, good, strong administration and the office ladies are very friendly and helpful! I will agree that parent involvement is low... I invite all Parkview parents (whether you're happy or unhappy with the school) to join PTA and get your voice heard!
