School Reviews

5   9/30/2014
Parkway middle is an amazing school! The teachers are great and understanding. The guidance office is amazing also. Especially Ms. Delesandro. She's the best. They care for you when your down and when your emotionally or physically hurt. Anyways the programs are outstanding. Like dance. Both teachers are kind but strict. (duh, they're dance teachers.) They give you opportunities that other middle schools cant give you. Bottom Line is that Parkway Middle School kicks other school to the curb. -Unknown 7th grader
