I myself went to Parkland middle as well as my daughter. When I compare Parkland to any other high schools I believe it is among the best. The school buildings appearance, architecture, and indoor facilities such as the classrooms, labs, gyms, and cafeteria are excellent. The teachers and staff are friendly and do a great job. My daughter never had an issue with any of the teachers or staff. The teachers and staff did an excellent job working with my daughter preparing her for college. The schools' academic and athletic programs are wonderful as well. I believe this high school has been scored unfairly, I work in law enforcment and know first hand that there are far worse high schools with drug problems, every high school has a drug problem.
