GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

overall at parkway they are one sided . They don't praise the kids. As a parent to a 8th grader they only provide a graduation ceremony to a few selected students picked by the teachers . No encouragement for the other students who have also been promoted. A lot of favoritism in the school. School rules do not apply to all and it's sad to have seen. Very few teachers seem to care about the best for the students . Unbelievable to not be able to celebrate the success of your child being promoted to high school if it wasn't one of the few chosen . PWMS should be ashamed .

If I can do the parkway school years again I would. Coming into Parkway I was a new student I thought it would be really hard making friends and fitting in but it wasn't Everyone is great. My group of friends were like a second family. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. I believe every school event was fun and memorable.

I believe some, not all, of the teachers need far more training/education. One of the teachers actually recommended her class to utilize Google translate to learn Spanish. That's just pure laziness in my opinion.
