Park East high school is an amazing school. I'm a person that doesn't always feel comfortable being in other communities apart from my own. but in this school I constantly feel at home and like I belong. The teachers are amazing and always make sure to make the class fun but educational.I really don't have complaints for this school I've been here all my 4 years of high school and I wouldn't trade the memories and experiences I've had here for the world. It's truly a beautiful community Park east High school has created.

I have really enjoyed my time at park east because it is like a small close nit community where support is offered often. The only thing I would like for park east to have is a larger range of Ap classes available.

My time at Park East over the past 4 years has been amazing. I've received continuous support from the wonderful staff and made excellent friends along the way. While at Park East, I was given various opportunities to further explore my interests, socialize, and preparation for the next few years after high school. I feel very safe at Park East and comfortable talking to faculty if I ever need anything.

Low standards for students and not a lot of social-emotional support especially if your child has an IEP. Poor communication, teachers are unresponsive and the 9th grade living environment teacher is mean and hurts selfesteem by telling students negative things about themselfs.

I am a Parent of a present Senior at Park East H.S. I honestly can say that CPE from the very moment we walked through those doors we received such a truly comfortable and welcoming introduction that it lay to rest so much anxiety for all of us. I was and I am still impressed with the staff at this...
