Overall, Parkland High School is a good choice for your kids to learn. It is also well for teachers to teach in as long as everyone feels safe and secure within the community.

This school is a joke. The staff are far to focused on minute things. They make the rules up as they go. Depending on who the student is, is a factor in whether or not a student has violated dress code or some other rule. If a child does not follow their BLIND OBIEDENT RULES they are target and verb...
