The worst part of Parkston high school is just the fact that we are a small town school so we don't have the most opportunities or options for classes or extra circulars. We don't have any AP classes unless they are online which aren't very good. The best part is the social aspect of it all; everyone is friends with everyone and we all love to join in on school spirit. I would like to see certain teachers be more inclusive and the opportunity to have more AP classes.

I have had a great experience because they have a good program and all of the teachers support the students. I am thankful for all the experiences and I'm a fan of our sports and clubs. I couldn't ask for a better school.

What I love about Parkston High School is that the teachers are very helpful. If a student doesn't understand a certain subject the teachers are more than happy to help this student to understand the material. Also, not only the school, but also the community is accepting and always willing to help with anything and everything.
