Park Orchard Elementary School Reviews

This school is more worried about the WASL than helping students exceed.
This review was posted by a parent.

I was a former student and Park Orchard and I thought the staff was incredible. They were very warm overall and are not out of touch with their students like at the Junior High. They treat everyone with respect and the students respect them. The low budget is a problem, and so is the PTA involvement.

The teachers and other staff at PO are very warm, intelligent and caring people. They work hard and find creative ways to reach the students. They are overly restricted by the politicians and limited by a ridiculously low budget. The people who spend six to eight hours a day educating and preparing our children to face this society should not be told how to do it by people who have never spent their days teaching in the same system.
