Parker Middle School is a school of great requirement, students, and teachers. The first time I came to Parker I felt like a stranger but now I feel like I am a part of the parker Family

Parker is a awesome school.. It is in front of the qhetto so theres alot of sterotypes about the school from the get go. i had my time as many student had when i think that the teachers were bias and the pricipal cater to there favorites. But Parker is a great school. Its small so all the principal know most of student. Me i was a very well known student and very popular so i knew all of them also. They had a program called Health which i was apart of since sixth grade to help kids and give them knowledge about there body. We had honor student and of course like at any school there were gangs and cliques. So for you to sit and type so much degrading things about Parker is ignorant. Maybe your life wasn't great at parker because of YOUR decicisions ! and as for the bathroom most of all public schools has some type of writinq. And i am a withness that when graffti went up the custodian - (spell check) paint'd the wall ! but after a while it get exspencive buying paint so they waited for them to build up. we had cameras and other saftey equpmen.t Parker is a Middle School ! Come on it going to be imature kids that don't know thhemselves and do wrong things ! Me i had a awesome time there i met my bestfriends there! Love You Neshiaa H

this school sucks! i hate it here....the only reason im not transfering is cuz i dont wanna go to red oak w/ a bunch of stuck up people
but the only good thing about parker is the very few nice teachers that work there
mrs peck and mr davis are so bias it isnt funny
im different from the other students and they dont like that(neither do the students) i get in trouble for everything i do...they suspended me cause i had to use the bathroom!
not to mention the gangs and bullying

DONT SEND YOUR KIDS TO PARKER!

people are saying bad things about this school but there is much more to this. This school has respectful children not all are alike. The bathroom isn't all that but a school isn't about its appearance. Students learn in this school and most of us get along. People are stating bad things about the school but wheres the good in this school. The teachers must be doing something right because i am an A/B honor roll student, and i have learned alot while in this school. So before you want to state bad fact about this school know the fact.

The school is honestly horrible. The teachers are an exception because most of them are nice. Most of the students act savage and have no respect for the teachers. The bathroom is like a black pot hole in the middle of the road, the cafeteria has cockroaches in there and the food sometimes is served over cooked, or nasty. The programs they have are limited, some don't even make any sense. The children use profanity as if it was appropriate to human language. The school should be shut down, the teachers given jobs at a school that would replace the current Parker, and the location moved.

I believe that Parker Middle School is a good school. I love the teachers there. I will be going to the 8th grade this year. I really love my favorite Mrs. Oxendine she was the best. Mr. Davis is a very good principal.

I believe the only good thing this school offers is the right of the spankings and the good disapline you recieve from the prinicpal! Charles Davis. The school it's self is just unprestable. The bathrooms are coverd with gang signs and mean stuff. The windows are completed with buletholes. and they cafetria... yeah don't even get me started
