My child attended Parker Elementary and went on to Rutherford High as a fully prepared student. She had excellent teachers which propelled her into academic excellence in higher education. She was able to achieve high college entrance exam scores and with the IB diploma was able to earn a fully paid for scholarship to the number one university in the nation, The University of Florida. Some people speak badly of schools due to socioeconomic factors, but they are incorrect assumptions. Parker Elementary is a great school.

I have 2 students that have attended Parker, a 2nd grader and a 4th grader. Both have been here since kindergarten. The teachers are great! And we finally have a great principal (previous one terrible)! They offer chorus, robot club and girls on the run after school. For tutoring 89 children 3rd-5th took part and were bused home if needed after it. They have a good gifted program. I wouldn't be surprised if the school grade was a "B" next year. My children do well on standardized tests. It is a free lunch and breakfast school. There are about 90% of the children are low income and receive over 450,000 dollars of title one money, that doesn't make a difference, the teachers that stay are great. I'm happy my children attend here!

My son goes to Callaway Elementary and my Daughter goes to this disgrace of a school. If you are looking for a school to work with you in anyway, don't go here. One lady in the office is incredibly nice, everyone else is completely rude. The schools policies remind me of a prison rather then a school.. So much is wrong with this school I could write a book.
