My experience has been good overall. Administration has always been helpful if I've needed something, and most of the teachers I've had were very good. There is a wide range of classes available, and the school looks to students and the community for feedback if needed.

So far up to my senior year at Parkland High School, my experience has been stellar. Parkland high schools offers a variety of high levels classes that can really set up students for college in the field they would like to peruse. Since freshman year I have been following a BioMed 4 year course which counts as an AP course and I feel very prepared as to what I shall see in college and I feel a step ahead. Also the community and sports aspect is amazing. Our school has competitive and successful teams throught all seasons and there is also many amounts of clubs that are fit for anyone who would like to join.

I have had a great experience and learned a lot. During my time in high school, I have matured a lot and developed into the young woman I am today. The time I had at this school taught me a lot and is why I am the person I am today. Along with that, my teachers were great and made my day more enjoyable. The learning environment was enjoyable most days as well.

Awful experience. They dropped the ball during the start of the pandemic and e learning. The students were expected to teach themselves and teachers weren’t required to provide synchronous learning. When we reached out to administration for help because my son was floundering we were told that it wa...

This school has grown WAY too big and is definitely losing its reputation quickly. Teachers are helpful and there are a lot of resources, but this is not a school for an introvert. 3200 students, and my son feels extremely ostracized. Fights are occurring more and more often and drugs are in the bat...

exceptional school with exceptional services. The staff is very polite and my kids are showing tremendous improvements in all aspects. Living in Breinigsville served my purpose.
