My two sons have attended Parkview. My oldest just recently transitioned to Jr. High. I have a second grader currently enrolled and so far the sch yr has started off great. We do not have a negative experience to speak of in the 4 years we have encountered PV. Yes, as I read in another review the principal is very hands on, in fact, he spoke to my children by name as I witnessed him do with many others. Inanutshell, my children have had a good experience with teachers, other staff as well as students. My oldest had great teachers in 3rd and 4th grade, that really went the extra mile to help him in weak areas. They were responsive by email as well as taking time to send home frequent notes about his progess!

Parkview is the best! The principal is hands on - a strong presence in the school. The teachers work hard to accomodate each child's special needs as well as being good role models. The office staff is helpful and courteous. I give them a 5 star and so do my kids.

I have love this school it is a multicultral school very diverse. They are very positive people who love to teach and make sure your student has a chance to be the best young citizens they can be. The principal Mr. Kalsu is the best principal every and is very protective over his students and faculty. Nothing and no one gets by him. He should be principal of the year.

THe principle, Mr. Kalsu, is very involved and professional. He really does know each child by name and really understands how to communicate to the children with respect and compassion. The students listen to him. The staff seem happy to teach and in my 4 years of experience so far, have been willing to help and understand my daughters' needs. I feel good sending my child to school there each day knowing that she will learn and be kept safe. I am looking forward to my son growing up and attending Parkview! I think that the music (yea Mrs. Sharp!), art (Miss Peterson rocks). reading (Hi Mrs. Long), and other staff members do an amazing job. They even have a before and after school day care in the facility!

We moved to this school from another in the same district. There is no comparison. Parkview is amazing. The staff really love the students and love what they do. My daughter is challenging, but I know she will be greeted with compassion and guidance everyday. Parkview provides a level of education that I was surprised to find in the public school system. Again, the result of dedicated teaching staff.

Parkview is a great school with great teachers. My daughter attended there from 1st thru 6 grade. The principal Mr. Kalsu is the best. You can't ask for a better environment for your child. The quality of learning is top notch. I highly recommend it.

Parkview is a 1st rate school - its not as old as you think, but it is kept in superb condition. All three of my children have gone or are going to Parkview. Top notch teachers, staff and an super involved principle, Mr. Kalsu. We are moving next year and I hope I can find a comparable school where we are going. A+++

This is a neighborhood school. Though it is an older school it is kept up very well. Very clean and nice. The principal is the best. Very involved and knows the kids by name. They do not tolerate too much talking, fighting or name calling. I only wish they offered classes through 12th grade. A+ in my book. My child attended 4th - 6th grades. No organized sports though due to budget cuts.
