10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI wish I could write a five star review. I would only give credit to those hard-working teachers unfortunately our experience at the school has not been very positive. There is a huge problem with bullies at the school and I feel like there isn’t anything being done about it if a child has a special need and requires a combination the school will deny an aide for your childParent Review3mo ago - Park Elementary School
