Park Hall Elementary School

If I ever ha I e a concern, it is addressed with professionalism and resolution is quick.

I love this school! We moved from Arizona to Maryland and they made my kids feel right at home!Every teacher I had the honor of meeting in my one year of having kids attend park hall was so kind and willing to reach the kids where they were.The teachers work their butts off and are so kind. They let me help out in the classes as much as I wanted and I never felt like I was putting them out. They kept me very well informed about the things the kids were doing in their classes and if they needed help with something.They had an app while my kids were there called class dojo and I loved it because it gives the kids point for doing well during he day but I was also able to see how my kids were doing through out the day on my phone so I was able to help them once they got home from school.The PTA does incredible work as well, they do once a month movie nights that were a high light for my kids.The office staff were always very warm and welcoming to me no matter what I had to go in there with.My daughter started pre-k here and by the time we left, half way through the school year she was already reading!I was so sad we moved, I miss everyone at park hall. This really is one of the best experiences I have had since putting my kids in school. I have zero complaints about this school.

Park Hall has been a great school for us. Our daughter had been through 2nd, 3rd, and currently 4th and we've had zero issues with school or staff. If situations arise, it's all how you deal with them. Every school will have them, no matter how "fancy" the area is. As a parent who believes in great education and communication between teacher and parent, I give Park Hall 5 stars.

I echo another reviewer who said you might have a great opinion of this school if you have never been anywhere else. I have had kids in six different elementary schools in three states. This is by far the worst. This was the first place my daughter experienced bullying and theft. I did like their monthly ceremony for kids who exhibited that month's positive quality. However, the overall education quality was minimal, at best. I don't know if the problem was the administration, Maryland education system (which I found to be horrific), or the demographics of the area, but I believe that one or all of these issues were the problem(s). I do not think the teachers were the problem. The ones with whom I had communication definitely had their hearts in the education effort, but their efforts were far outweighed by the rest.
