Park High School offers students many opportunities for advanced and AP classes, as well as extracurricular activities. Principal leadership is excellent and parent involvement could be improved. Staff is focused on education and high expectations. Students taking advantage of the opportunities are well prepared for college.
Ok, Park is a pretty good school, while yes we have lots of problems but so does every other school out there. We should not be worried about being better than everyone else and we should be worried about bettering ourselves so that every student that walks in and out of the doors everyday will have the chance to succeed and be encouraged to do whats right. We should not always discipline but encourage whats right and follow through doing that our selfs. That is the only way we can teach our students.
Park high school is just one of the three big schools in Racine, WI. The bright students of the school are brought down by the preppy pretty people of the school, ( i.e. dance team captains). stop dancing and learn how to spell. High school is a time to learn the 1st steps of adulthood or college prep. and park high simply controls the students and turns them into mindless dancing panthers.
I am a student at Park, and I love it! I'm a captian of the Park Panther Dance Company (not poms or cheerleading). Between all the sports and extracular activities, it's really a great school. We are getting a new principal and the advisors are in a changing phase. The students can be a little wild but it's nothing compared to the the stories you'll hear.... :) We are all pround to call ourselves Panthers!
My daughter is a Freshman at Park. She chose to go to Park instead of continuing on with Walden (she loved Walden, but wanted a bigger high school experience..her choice). She is in several accelerated courses and is excelling in all of her classes. Park is a bit rough and quite regimented compared to Walden, I'll admit that; but she's gotten used to the routine and the school is addressing the 'rough' problems aggressively... that is so far the only issue we've had with the school, but my studious and somewhat shy daughter has grown to enjoy it and says that she's glad she made the change. Most students get out of school what they put into it, and the parents have a lot of influence there. Park has alot to offer, you just have to be willing to work hard and stay focused and many good things will come of it.
Park in a horribla high school, the teachers don't care, the students don't care, we moved out of the state to give my children a better change.
I am an alumni at park high and the programs are excellant. The staff at park high do everything possible to keep the school,students as wellas teachers to stay on top of things and have great classes. overall park high has a very good alumni ratio.
