POND Rd, Lothian, MD 20711

My children are in third and seventh grade at Parkside. They have had a wonderful experience at this school. We moved here from another district when my oldest was in first grade, and I was nervous about the change from a much larger school. I should not have worried! We couldn't be happier with the quality of education they are getting at Parkside. I don't know who wrote the older reviews about politics or teachers playing favorites, but I think those teachers must be gone. My only regret is that the school ends after 8th grade! I wish it could become a high school and go through 12th. I do not want to send my children to Fairview High School, so we are looking at different options for my oldest for the year after next.

Fairview Elementary is a wonderful school. The teachers, staff and administrators are dedicated to the students academic and personal success. As a parent of former students and now a faculty member, I can personally say that all teachers work to give the students the best possible learning opportunities.
