The experience that I had at Parkway northwest high school was good, the education that I received was very good, students were all well behaved as it was a special admission school. The only thing that we're not very good we're the cafetorium, the food, and the gym.

I am a current senior at Parkway Northwest and I believe that this school has its positives and negatives.
