My son's teacher keeps me well informed and contacts me with any concerns regarding his learning. I am very pleased with my son's school and he is very happy there as well. Although he is in 1st grade he is still close to his kindergarten teacher and all the facility there.

I have a daughter in second grade here at Parkview. She has done great all three years and has had teachers that went out of their way to keep her engaged. There is a great PTA and they just started a dad's group called Watch DOGS.

My son goes to first grade at Parkview and he loves it. He has some learning disabilities that I was not aware of. His teacher quickly provided him all the services he needed to get him up to par. Everyone there, the teachers, counslers, the nurse, are always making sure he is getting the most of his eduaction. The environment is always welcoming and the security is top notch. I could not ask for a better school.

Parkview is a great school with a very diverse student body. They have an exemplary status. It represents the society's demographics in general. What I mean is that its not one of those all white or all black or all hispanic schools. I think, kids going to Parkview will have a much better chance of being color blind - i.e. they will see people, not what their ethnicity is and they'll get a great fundamental education.

Parkview is great. I am so sad to leave it(we are moving) Great principal, great organization. They are strict, but there is a reason they maintain the exemplary status. My daughters are all the better for it.

My first time being at parkview was last year.Due to Hurricane Katrina.I had two son's attend PV.The best part I like best about Parkview was when my 5 year old advanced to reading on the second grade reading level. He still attends Parkview now.

Parkview is overall a good school with good test scores. The school can be strict though and at times I feel like to academic pressure to maintain their exemplary status oversees the nurturing needs of the children at this age.
