Parkway Heights Middle School
best school ever i find it very sad that many parents think that its a bad school, well im here to tell you its not. alot of rumors been said about this school like the teachers sell drugs and the kids are alll bullies. THAT IS NOT TRUE. The teachers help your child actually succeed in life. the children are mostly hispanics but come on they are being really racist to them. im not saying there angels but THEY ARE KIDS. dont judge a book by its cover. you misjudge them. i have to say my two older sons went to both alto loma and westborough i thought philapinos were supposed to be friendly and innocent?? i was wrong. well i guess you got the point. PARKWAY HIEGHTS MIDDLE SCHOOL IS THE BEST
