My experience as a student at Park Hill South was generally all around great. When I reflect back on what I would change, I always end up with the conclusion of I wouldn't change a thing. I never realized how privileged I was to be in a safe, kind, and caring environment of a school. I'm proud to be a Park Hill South alumni and enjoy when I see my previous teachers and classmates around Kansas City.

I am now a graduate from PHS. It was a good school although the administration wasn't very good my first 3 years as we got new administration it got better. Some of the teachers were biased and played favorites. The cafeteria workers were also so nice. The sports teams were fun to be around although they favored some of others

Good facilities and sports teams. Coaches are great and there's a good variety of classes including AP and dual credit. The cafeteria food could be better.
