School is the ghetto. Kids get bullied. Poor administration. Poor academics and sports. Worst school in the county. The soccer team was good though.

This school is okay. Just alot of drama and the sports are terrible. Some teachers should not have got the job to be a teacher or work at PVHS. Academic programs are okay . Athletic programs are not okay. Band is probably the best thing at Park View.
