Wednesday, August 2, 2017

My kids have both attended the Pal Park school district. Loved the Early Childhood Edu & Lindbergh Elementary. However, the high school seems to be lacking in culture. The kids don't have pep rally, their choir sucks, and the drama club is even worse. Sad to say, they don't seem to be passionate about the Arts or creating an environment that is both academic and Engaging for the kids.
Teachers and Office staff have always been pretty good and academically they work with you to help your kids succeed the best they can. Close Quote
