The school has low-quality science education, and the students suffer because of it. The bathroom facilities need an upgrade as well as better upkeep. However, it provides great opportunities in Career and Technical Education (CTE).

There is a lot of thing I like about Parker High School. The school is not very big so you meet a lot of new people and become friends with a lot of new kids. It's an awesome experience. What I would like the see change is how we're not known by many colleges. Therefore there isn't many chances for college. If we were a bigger school it would be easier but we're not.
