Parkview Elementary School

The leadership under Dr. Joy Watson has improved this school so much! Her and her staff truly care about their students and pushing them to achieve their best.

I am an ex middle school student of Parkview Baptist School. Students are cookie cutter images of each other. Nearly no diversity or creativity. Girlhood was extremely hard here with judgmental students and even teachers.

Something to note when deciding weather to send your child to St. George is that no one cares about your. My daughter attended the school for 8 years and was severely bullied in middle school. The school did nothing about it. The large class size is also a big issue because teachers can’t have a one on one relationship with their students. Teachers at this school praise bad children who do one good thing but overlook the children who do good every day. If your child is not rich and popular then he or she will not fit in and will be overlooked. The whole school and parental community fostered this clique based community and it is not okay. Schools should respect and love the mental well being of all children of just the popular ones. I am deeply hurt that my child had to suffer through middle school there.

I miss this school so much. I went to this school for 8 years and it was an amazing experience.

I am raising my developmentally delayed grandson. This school was his saving grace. The whole staff knows him and are dedicated to his learning and development. He learns differently and this school and this staff have given him a better life. When he came to Woodlawn from Southdowns PreK center in 2018, he was non-verbal, not potty trained and hurting from three years of neglect. Southdowns PreK center gave him no assistance and basically no real education the time he was there. They stuck him in a bare classroom and labeled him a behavior problem. When I took custody, I called the school board office almost every day until they finally transferred him to Woodlawn. Kathy Kapoulas gave my grandson a new start and a new life, and for that I am eternally grateful to this school. The staff is wonderful! He is in a self-contained class but visits other ancillary and regular classrooms for his individual needs. He also has OT and ST weekly. They make him feel so special. I saw another review that said that if your child is disabled steer clear of this school, so that is why I wrote this review. The staff a Woodlawn do not shy away from children with disabilities, they embrace them!
