5/29/2025
I loved Parkland mostly because of its massive diversity; and they're not secluded either. We get a chance to express our cultures and our unique diversity in many ways, like culture clubs, and culture week, where we can dress our ways, and also involve food, music, dancing and entertainment. Another aspect of parkland that I really enjoyed was the music department .

Parkland is a good school district, but there is not a lot of diversity. A lot of racism does occur within the students, teachers, and administration, making it unfair to certain students. The academic part of things is good depending on which teacher you are assigned, and if you are assigned a bad teacher, then you're out of luck.

Overall, my experience at Parkland has been pretty good. They have a big selection of AP courses, and the teachers prepare you well for the AP exams. One thing I will say is that the clubs and activities aren't that involved in the school, and rarely meet. The school is relatively diverse, and there are a lot of opportunities to seek help if you need it.

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.
