Parmalee is a great school. The staff and faculty are exceptional, and the school is central to the community to an extent that I'd think is rare.

Our child currently goes here and he loves it. I love it too because he loves learning now. The staff is amazing - a perfect mix of compassion, patience, rigor, no-nonsense, fun and caring. We feel so grateful to be part of the community.

I went to this school in the 1970's and then I've had kids in school there from the 1990's to the present. I love it here. It's an amazing community for children to grow up in!
