Terry Parker High School has a great early college program. This program allows students to push themselves to thrive in a college environment. Terry Parker has excellent math teachers who are willing to teach and interact with students to improve the classroom setting. One thing I would change about Terry Parker is the safeness. They should increase security measures and provide more protection on campus. Another thing that could use improvement is staff and administrations interactions with students. Staff members could work on being nicer to students throughout the school year.

I think the best part of my Terry Parker High school experience is how being at this school made me to realize how the world actually works and that what happens to you you high school doesn't define who you are as a person. The worst part of my Terry Parker experience is the environment; there are hardly any clubs or activities for students to express themselves and how faculty and teachers sometimes treat students based on their own personal biases.

I've been homeschooled all my life before going here so I was worried I might not be ready for the experience. But I've met a lot of people and made a lot of friends, and I've come to enjoy my classes and appreciate the school more. All in all I'm having a lot of fun.

Terry Parker has an International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. It is small and friendly, teachers are helpful and caring. Our daughter had opportunity to attend the largest IB school in tge county but decided to go here. We are happy she did! And she loves the school!

I had a difficult time rating between 1-3 stars because there are several factors that are rather excellent at this school and some not, the latter favoring my vote. Which is why it came out to a 2 star rating. I've been attending Parker for 2 years now, going on 3 (making me a Junior) and the quali...
