Parkside Elementary

Some good teachers. My child is learning a lot. There are a few teachers that actually take time out and update the parents from time to time on how their child is doing. The principal he is awesome and very involving l. They host a lot of events for the children and families. The up side, Since my child’s been going there she is always sick and has never been a sick kid. They rarely give you so much information on major dates like when spring break or summer break is I just look up the school calendar. Have gotten several letters since school started of head lice and chicken pox. That is always a scare. All in all it’s an okay school.

The best school in the city for sure hands-​down! It’s worth the fight to put your kid in this school! All the teachers are amazing and so caring to your child’s needs! The principle is outside to welcome you in the morning and outside to say goodbye at the end of the day such an amazing job! My son is eager to go to school Day after day! Very proud of the school and I hope they are too!

Gotta say… I taught special ed summer school here, and I thought the principal, teachers, and staff all seemed to love their kids and their jobs. Even the bus and cafeteria staff were friendly and very sweet with the students. Lots of free breakfast/​lunch stuff, they really seem to reach out to the community, too. As mentioned, TERRIBLE parking/​drop off. But you can do it. :)

Both of my kids go to this school. I think the School is awesome. I especially love the principal, Mr. Varner. He is all about the kids. He is in the front of the school every morning greeting the students and their family. They have free breakfast for all students now. They offer a free after school program which is terrific! They have fun events for students and families such as movie night. The only bad thing I have to say about this school is the whole drop-​off zone is horrible! The parking lot is so small, not too many parking spots. People don’t seem to understand the concept of a drop-​off zone either. You are not supposed to park your car and leave it there in this area. Let’s keep it moving, people!
