Parkway was a good experience in my opinion. They had plenty of after-school clubs and activities to help students find their niche. However, I do believe the admin and some teachers were not up to par.

This school administration is TRASH. Forcing their football players to kneel during the anthem or they get kicked off the team. Shame on this administration-that isn't leadership, that isn't supporting kids to think for themselves and think critically, a skill millions of people disturbingly lack in...

The school has a few problems here and there, but it has so many outstanding qualities that they outweigh the bad parts. The band is great, the football team is great, and just about everything shows the school's strive for excellence in all ways.

I am a student and the teachers and principles mostly lie and they don't teach. if a student is not in any sports the administration will not care about you.
