My son is under Mrs. Keely class last year ( 2007-2008). I was very pleased by the way she teach kindergarten class. Very dicipline and always come up w/ an idea to motivate the kids to love to learn. Thank you, Mrs. Keely!! But surprised me, my son supposed to the first grade this year, however the class is half kindegarten and half first grader. We will see how one teacher can do multi task job teaching kindergarten and first grader?..I hope my son doesn't left behind..

My daughter has been in Park School since Kindergarten and she is now in the 7th grade. The education and the leadership at Park did not change much. They do have caring teachers from K-4,after that the students are pretty much on their own. My daughter always 'A' on her testing but could not seem to stay focus with class projects and assingments. When I met with her teachers, they all said the same thing, your daughter wasted her talents away and could never stay focus in her class. To me there's a motivation issue here. I asked the teachers what can I do to help. The answers I received from her teachers were that she is older enough and needs to stay focus and writes down her class assignments, etc. There are nothing they can do more. I am planning to register my daughter into Private school coming fall.

My daughter has been a student at Park School for two years. Her experiences at Park had all been positive. Both her second grade teacher and current teacher are very capable and caring. I am especially pleased with the school's writing program. Though my daugher has not required any additional services, it is my understanding that Park provides numerous support classes and tutoring opportunities. Park also actively involves its community and families by hosting events such as Harvest Festival, Literacy Events, Movie Nights and Star Parties. It is wonderful to see a public school so dedicated to the success of its students.

Park seems to perform well on most grade level standardized tests. There are music programs as well as additional extracurricular activities for students. There are a few parent volunteers that are very diligent and could be considered permanant fixtures at the school. The parents that are involved are very involved. There could be more parent volunteers but due to a lot of working parents, they are unable to contribute as much as they would like. There also appears to be some problems with language barriers as some parents do not speak English.
