This School’s Reviews

3.0 Junior

6/20/2025

We are very limited in what we can do. Like fundraising for a school club. An administrator would not allow us to do certain even though other schools in the county allowed it.

4.0 Senior

1/25/2025

I think Parkwood is severely underdeveloped and has minimal funds which makes them very vulnerable to provide great care.

2.0 Alum

6/27/2024

Best part was being able to graduate early. Worst part was not being apart of a diverse class. I would like to see more Arts related activities for students. Everything shouldn't be all about sports.

Great school, veteran staff who care a lot, I'm so happy the Bond was passed to replaced the aging building. These students deserve the best!

Bullying is overlooked at this school, most teachers don't care about their students grades and often give up on their students
