"I used to be a student here at Parkmont, and I loved this school. Yes, some teachers are bad, but all schools have some bad and good teachers. The homework issue was not a problem for me, and I was ok with projects during spring and winter break. It was a bit hard, but it will only be for an year. Besides, this will prepare students for the real life. Overall, this is a superb school, but i do miss the old principal. The only bad thing i think is the office people, like the secretery. They are extremely rude. But, there are many teachers that I have admired and inspired me. This is a great school"

"Teachers here even assign homework (projects) for young kids to work on during winter break. Isn't it against Fremont Unified District School Regulations? No homework is supposed to be assigned on week-ends and holidays. This teacher always assign more homework on special dates such as Halloween-we were so busy preparing for Halloween but this teacher assigned more homework 'AS A PRESENT" to work on. My kid had to write more essay and Maths after "Trick or Treat" for homework due the next day after Halloween. This teacher has very bad manner too. I don't know why lots of the teachers at this school have such bad manner? If we complaint to the principal, she always push us out with bad manner."

"We moved from another part of Fremont and started this school just this year. I have to say we miss our old school in Fremont. While the STAR rating is high, it has nothing to do with this school and it's teachers. They cannot be more rude. The parents also aren't as friendly and while I agree the high STAR scores comes more with parent involvement than teachers, there is no sense of community from the parents at this school. They all go out for their own kid while kicking everyone else to the curb. There are a lot of tech industry parents here and maybe that kind of isolated world is what they are use to, but it really hurts I think in having the kids well-rounded. Most of my kids friends at school only see them at school. Most of their parents refuse after school or weekend play date requests."

"A large and diverse school, Parkmont has a stong PTA and many involved parents. My children have had good teachers with only one being problematic. My husband and I are both college educated and I'm a stay-at-home mom. I let the teachers do their jobs and simply see to it that my children do their homework and read. My children have scored proficient and advanced on their STAR tests and get decent grades. There are plenty of extra-curricular activities to choose from and there are teachers that have championed drama and chorus programs for years. The school facility has seen a number of improvements over the years and plans for more are in the works."

"Definitely office staff are a bit rude. The overall quality has gone down by years. Teachers are not sending homework every week regularly. As most reviewers said it has a good API score due to parent's individual interest and involvement. They should take feedback from the parents about the teachers at the end of the year to improve.But definitely I am appreciating and thankful to the few nice teachers."
