They had different work pathways you can take in life, downside is art isn't an option. Park has a problem with getting kids to attend class.

There should be more funding for a higher experience of learning for the students. With more funding, students will be able to be put in more simulations where they would run into problems in their dream/future jobs.

I recently transferred to park after a rough time at another local school. The staff was very quick to welcome me. Due to their involvement my switch was very smooth. So far I have had a great year. The students are very diverse which is lovely. As, I am a Latina, and there weren't many at my old school. I feel comfortable in my own skin now. I believe I have grown much into who I am today thanks to Park. I have gained independence, amazing new friends, self reliance, and overall a new level of confidence. I can't wait to see what else park has in store for me.

Park High school's teachers are one of the most passionate teachers I have seen in a while! The principal there makes an effort to get to know as many students as he can on a personal level and has really worked hard to create a positive atmosphere inside the school!

Park is pretty below average but just like any public school you choose your own path. You can get caught up in bs or you can try your hardest while your there. And if you care you will have plenty of teachers that will care with you if you don't it's the total opposite.
