Parkwood-Upjohn Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2008-12-16 “I have a child at Parkwood she is in KG and she also attended PEEP at this school. I cannot say enough good things about the staff and principal. When ever I have an issue I know I can call on either one and get results! My child is reading at an amazing level and learning more each day. Hey I love Parkwood” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-10-13 “I really like this school. My daughter is in second grade and my son is in Kindergarten. We have been in the school for 3 years now and so far all the teachers have just been fantastic, skilled, caring, motivating, helpful and involved in the success of my children. I am truly amazed at how much they have learned already! My daughter can read at a very high level and started reading fluently in Kindergarten. If you live in the neighborhood, it is also a plus as you get to meet people all the time whose children attend the same school. The teachers and staff are very helpful, kind and know the children by name. It makes me very happy when I drop my children off in the morning and I hear them beign greeted by name. Very friendly atmosphere!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-09-30 “If you have a child that is quiet, attentive and has overall good grades, they may not survive this school. Parkwood Upjohn bends over backwards for students that have behavior problems and are a constant disruption. If you dare complain to the administration - your child will suddenly have unexplained behavioral problems and the Principal will try to 'teach' you to be a better parent. In other words - they turn the tables on you and make everything your problem.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-01-30 “I have 3 children attending this school and we've been actively involved for 3 years now. The staff is loving and attentive, the Principal greets the children every morning with boisterous smile and a hardy good morning. The extra curricular activities are fantastic and the parental support can not be beat.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-01-21 “We moved within one block from Parkwood from another state because we were told of what a 'great school' it was. We are now having to pull our second grader from the school and put him into private school. This school, at one time many years ago, may have been a good place for 'children', but it presently has many cultural issues, the staff is surley and unkind, and the administration does not listen to parents (nor children) to resolve issues in a productive way. There is only a short recess for the chidren everyday. This school was very disappointing to parents who (before this experience) believed highly in the public school system!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-03-09 “My entire family loves this school so much we are selling our house and moving into the neighborhood! The principal does a great job with not only administration, but also takes the time to get to know each kid and every family. The teachers are warm and friendly, know how to teach, and really care about the kids. Both my husband and I have full-time jobs, so we can't participate as much as we would like, but we already feel a part of the Parkwood-Upjohn community. I have visited other schools and talked to many, many parents, and Parkwood-Upjohn is tops!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-02-22 “I have been a Parkwood parent for over 10 years. All of my children have received a terrific education, and I have constantly and continually been impressed with the teachers, staff, and principal. The school community, staff and parents alike, has been consistently enthusiastic, energetic, and creative. Is it perfect? Of course not, but there is always a strive for improvement.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2006-02-09 “This is the type of school that if you are a working parent, you will not know what is going on. You have to practically be on the PTA Board to get any information. The teachers try, but to a minimal effort. They will pass a child that is receiving a 23% in all subjects. I have seen it done. You have to request all information to be sent to you. They do nothing on a voluntary basis. I mean if you are not a working parent, or you have a job where you can invest 're'teaching your child knowledge.”
