Parkland, to this point has been a worthwhile experience since my enrollment in 2010. Right now I'm in eight grade. Parkland offers students to take highly advanced high school courses such as Honors Physics, and Introduction into Engineering Design (college level course). Parkland has an emphasis in aerospace technology and teachs us students lifelong skills. Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
