Parchment Reviews
Rating 3.5 out of 5 4 reviews
Parchment is a pretty small town, with only one middle school and high schools. In most high school environments , you grow up with the same group of people, but it's harder to know students personally in a bigger school setting. Parchment has graduating classes of only a few hundred students, so you know people yourself. One thing that I'd like to see changed in Parchment is how the faculty treats student issues. One faculty member that is most notorious for favoritism is the principle. Some of my closest friends, including myself have been bullied, which ranges from rumors to threats. Since the principle favors the bullies, they get off without punishment, and the bullying continues.
Parchment is a very friendly place to live. Festivals in the park in the summer on Sunday nights. Plays, car show and much more in July. We have great youth sports programs and numerous local activities for families. Parks, lakes, trails etc.
I grew up in Parchment. When I got married and had a child, we moved from Indiana back to Parchment so that our son could grow up in a quiet and safe environment.
