"The teachers and staff and a wonderful group of caring people and the music program is excellent. My granddaughter is so enthused about everything she does at her new school."

"My daughter started this past fall as a third grader in strings. She is taking the violin and I can not sing the praises of the music program at this school enough. I am impressed with the wonderful group of parents who volunteer their time in many ways and just how welcoming they are. My daughter is in the beginners chorus and I tell you it brings tears to my eyes when I hear them sing. After spending three years at another music magnet program here in Houston I can not tell you how wonderful this program is. There are not words to describe how much better this program is. The principle seems to be on top of things and my daughter's home room teacher is lovely (Mrs. Brown)."

"The music program is stellar and Parker deserves raves for all they've done in this area. However, the program requires intense parental invovlement during the school hours and so is not available to children whose parents cannot be there because of work. I'm a single parent and my child simply is unable to take advantage of any music instructions because of this. For those children who are not in the music program, the quality of the teaching and level of instruction is questionable."

"Our daughter started the strings program in kindergarten and is now in second grade. The program is almost unique, parent involvement is fantastic, and the sense of tradition and community are evident in everything that happens there. We're thrilled with Parker!"
