What I liked most about Parkway Central is the abundance of academic aid. This school is serious about their academics, so I'd advise attending in that manner. However, during my high school experience (2017-2021), racists slurs on bathroom mirrors, mimics to slavery on social media, and more off-the -wall behavior that fails to meet the necessity of a school full of diverse, accepting, students was my least favorite part about this high school. In the future, I really hope that reform is made, and that students/faculty all take responsibility in making Parkway Central a welcoming environment; not just academically, but socially.
Parkway Central is extraordinarily committed to college readiness. There are plenty of AP and honors level courses to prepare you for any field in the adult world. However, there is a lack of diversity in these upper level courses as well, notably missing African American and Hispanic students. Our athletic department cares about our student athletes, and there are plenty of opportunities to participate. And while we definitely have problems regarding race at our school, I believe that our school community works to try and get over inequities at our school.
The teachers at PCH have helped me be successful in the classroom. They have stayed after school, come in early and spent their lunch time helping me with my school work. There are a lot of clubs and sports to get involved in. I am big into soccer and have played on Varsity all four years. Soccer has helped me in so many ways both on and off the field. I think PCH is a great school and am very grateful to have spent all four years as a Colt!
