This is a really great school. My two oldest kids really like it here. The teachers are excellent and really believe in pushing the kids to the limit in learnng. Both of my children are straight a students.

Posted February 3, 2005

My son attends Thelma R.Parks Elementary and he loves his teacher and has quickly develped a sense of school pride. The class sizes are small enough that he can receive special attention in areas, if necessary, while still having the opportunity to interact with a diverse group of classmates. The students go to Computer and Spanish classes twice a week. They also participate in a music class once a week. I have found the quality of their academic programs to be fantastic. There are a multitude of activities available for the children to participate in; and they are encouraged to do so. I would like to see an improvement in parent involvement within the PTA, but other than that, I am very satisfied and readily recommend this school.
