Some would say that Parker Bennett Curry is not a good school. But I beg to differ. I have 3 kids in this school, yes they have their faults but what school does not. I have never seen a perfect school. They work hard, to put up with the kids who's parents send them to school and not worry about what they do. I think that if the parents cared about their education then Parker Bennett Curry would nt have such a bad reputaion. I like the teachers and the principal. They work hard and they will work with you if you have a problem or a situation that needs o be adressed.
