    "I am a former graduate of Parkland and my younger brother also attended the school. Parkland is great if you are an academically or athletically motivated student. Both my brother and myself were able to take APs which allowed us to have over a semester of college credit completed before we ever left the halls of Parkland. With it's academic rigor and excellent extracurricular activities, Parkland also helped set us both up to earn academic scholarships in college and gave us the chance to display leadership abilities for a lot of trust and responsibility are awarded to students."

    "Although the academic system at Parkland is by far one of the greatest in the state of Pennsylvania, if you parents could spend a week in our shoes, you d be baffled to how this could come to be. The teachers are extremely unprofessional and seem to care more about being thought of as the cool teacher than doing their job. They really could honestly care less about your student and more about the teacher down the hallway who they plan on meeting for dinner that night. They treat us with the lowest amount of respect a decent human deserves, and that is why I have to completely disagree with some of the other people who have written about Parkland. I have been in the Parkland District for five years never been more disrespected and verbally abused by anyone in my life. Teachers are supposed to motivated you, push you, and correct you when you are wrong."

    "Parkland is a wonderful school. Not only excelling in athletics, we also have amazing art programs as well as endless extracurriculars. It's extremely easy for any student to find their niche. Although the large number of students (about 4000) could be intimidating, it ultimately makes it easier for one to find peers who they are compatible with. Guidance counselors put forth a great deal of effort to communicate with all of their many students, and assess their needs. With many course options, one can more easily figure out what they'd like to do after high school, or decide a possible major. There are many levels of classes, making it simple for you to find the perfect class for you. Teachers push you to do your best, which shines through in our excellent test scores. Parkland is an outstanding school, and I couldn't imagine attending anywhere else."
