Parish Episcopal School, Dallas | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

If you are looking for an Episcopalian school that has good academics and a kind, happy environment….. There are MUCH better options. I was a student here for nine years, and I gained almost nothing from the experience. LS was okay, but I cannot say the same for MS or HS. If you truly want your child to have leadership positions (student council, honor council, etc.) and earn academic awards, be prepared to give thousands of dollars a year and become best friends with the administration. Most of the teachers teach to one type of learner, and if your child is not that type, they will treat him or her with hostility. The Head of School is a joke. The curriculum includes many pointless projects that have nothing to do with learning. The school is very bad at handling bullying and peer drama. Overall, Parish is a school that is designed for rich snobs that want to do nothing but party and have everything come easy to them. Not everyone is like that, but a majority are. To be honest, you can get a much more beneficial education at a very good public school like HP, LH, or JJP. $21,000-$24,000 a year is too hefty of a price tag for a party school like Parish.

Parish Episcopal has been a great school for all 3 of our girls – each with different interests. I love that they can experience an inclusive and supportive community while growing and learning about the unique individuals that they are as they. From passion projects in Lower School, to challenging academic programs and diverse arts and athletics programs in Middle and Upper School, there are many paths to explore. And perhaps more important than all the programs offered are the amazing teachers along the journey who help shape these kids into young adults.

Parish Summer Camp has been great this year. We have done the All Day Camp (7:30-6pm) and many of the individual camps (Ballerina Princess Camp, Sandbox Science, Cheer, Manuscript). Patty’s team has got things running well. This year they offered carpool services at the end of camp and hot lunches which has been wonderful. My daughter leaves excited and comes home happy and tired. The camp provides before and aftercare from 7:30-9:00 and then from 3:00-6:00 if you choose to do the individual morning and afternoon sessions.
