I do really enjoy attending Parkville high school there's really no consistent problems I could speak about, but there is a lot of lack of attention with teachers towards student and their grades but when you do speak out about the problems it does get resolved eventually.

I have attended Parkville High School since I was in ninth grade. This has been a memorable experience, both great and terrible. I've met various teachers who have honestly shown and helped shape me into the person I am today. Some employees will assist you until you have what you need, while others will not and show no remorse. Overall, I would grade my four years at Parkville High School a three out of five.
