BEST SCHOOL EVER. I went here when I was a bit younger and it was the best school Ive been to, coming from Germany. This school isnt as bad as these other reviews say. It isnt caught up in any gangs, and I didnt see a single drug dealer here. I honestly think this school is amazing for kids. If they want to go here, I would recommend it!

Horrible school . Worst school to go to if youre trying to give youre son/ daughter a proper upbringing . Kids always cursing outside the school . Gang fights . Seen a kid sell drugs in class . Academics are horrible . Teachers dont care about whats going on, they ignore kids . Kids destroying property . As it is northeast is not a good location

This School SUCKS there is soo much bullying that goes on ! NO-ONE does anything about it!
Posted: March 25, 2014
This school has been the worst school that I have seen while being in the military. The school does not adhear to their own bullying policy. The victim gets punished instead of the other way around. I have overhear the principal tell a student to stay home from school and let the other child cool off before returning to school. The administration will not call a parent back even after six phone calls. I have even stopped by the office only to be told that the principal is in a meeting and he would have to get back to me. The bullying does not stop with the students either. Some of the teachers even laugh at the victim. If I wasn't stuck in a lease, I would have taken my children out of the school. Needless to say, if you are not from this area, this is not the school you want to send your children to. I will not be sending my children back to this school next year.

I was a student there. I think the school have awesome teachers. They really teach the students very good. The staff is very friendly. When it came to academics I think they did a great job.

They do not let the students shower or change after P.E. even though they make them run and sweat. These are 12 year old kids and older, that is digusting and unhygienic.

I myself went to Parkland middle as well as my son and daughter. When I compare Parkland to any other middle school in the northeast, this middle school is the bell of the ball; compared to the rest of El Paso I believe it is among the best. The school buildings appearance, architecture, and indoor facilities such as the classrooms, labs, gym, and cafeteria are great for the kids and create a positive environment. The teachers and staff are friendly and do a great job. My son and daughter never had an issue with any of the teachers or staff, and enjoyed their middle school experience.
