My two kids were in the magnet program and we had to move out of state mid-year. We moved to a school that was also highly rated, but were shocked at how far behind the classes were in the new school. The magnet program at Park Western really advances the kids beyond what is expected of their grade level. I also loved how committed the teachers and the principal were. Great, great school. We miss it!
This is the best school! Wonderful staff, teachers and principal who work very hard with the children at being their best. I couldn't ask for a better place for my son.
I absolutely love this school, my son and daughter love their teachers and friends...It's nice to see a atmosphere of closeness and togetherness within staff and teachers, as well as the parents. We are very fortunate to have great teachers, front office personell and a wonderful principal. The only bad thing people have to say, is that we need more parking but really in the scope of what is really important I will continue to be patient and take that extra walk so that my child continues to be a part of this great school. Park Western Keep Up The Good Work!
Park Western is commimtted to educating the children. There is one goal and that is to eduate every child to the best of their ability. The school is open to parents comments and concerns. The children love the school and the administration.
My daughter went to this school only one year, Grade 1, which was the best year ever. She loved every minute. It's like having a second family. The staff is super friendly and the principal is amazing. We don't have one bad thing to say about this school. Also, the after school program is great. The hardest part about moving away was to leave this school :(
We have a wonderful hard working staff. Our API score is 942. Our principal is very active and runs a great program. She has introduced reading and writing programs at our school that have proven fantastic results. The students have a love for learning.
Outstanding elementary school. The reading, math and science programs are awesome. Teachers really do care. Second grade teacher just sent my daughter a welcome to 2nd grade letter! Fantastic!
This is a grea school, although there are a few issues I have had, but nothing that was able o be worked through. I am a mother of 5 children 3 out of the five have attended park western, my daughter has been attending since pre-school with mrs. Espi, she had mrs. nasr for kindergaten she is one of he best teachers I have ever meet, she encourages her students to be open and and crative, my daughter loves her and when she found out that she wasnt going to be her teacher any more she cried. she is going into the first grade. my son just finished pre-school with mrs.Espi and will also have Mrs. Nasr for kindergarden. my youngest son will be attending pre-school with mrs. Espie. but over all the school is great wih wounderful programs and excellent appreciation for parent helpers.
The rating of 10 is not hype. I don't usually spend time writing reviews but this one deserves my attention as a concerned parent of a daughter who has been attending this school since early 2007. The principal has a grip of this school as evidenced by her standing outside of the school every morning - watching out mainly for the kids' safety. Support for special-needs students is outstanding - a must for my daughter. Will surely miss this school when she leaves for middle school next year. Keep up the genuine interest for our children's educational and social upbringing!
This school is great, the teachers,staff, the principal are very friendly people and the field trips are cool too...even the lunches are to not to good it's still a great school
