Walter L Parsley Elementary School
parent of 1st graders: The principal is very professional and works hard to keep up the enthusiasm and school professionalism. The PTA is exceptional--with many SAHM (and some dads) that are very dedicated to making this an awesome school. The interior os the school is lovely and the teachers go to extra efforts making fun displays. We only have experience with 1st grade teachers (Mrs. Blanchard and Mrs. Radford) and they are both EXCELLENT! Both are very professional and caring but structured and push the kids to be their best. The only down side is that there isn't much diversity here--mostly white middle class.

Walter L Parsley Elementary School
This is only our first year at Parsley but we have a terrific school. The teachers work very hard to differenate the curriculum for each student based on their individual needs. The communication between the school and home is great and the environment has been warm and welcoming so far.
