Niche Reviews
1/25/2025
As a senior who's spent their first year at Palo Duro, the school isn't too bad, but it isn't the greatest. The staffing issues for teachers are common and the school rules aren't very fair. I do agree that the school lives up to its statements for college readiness though. I liked the liveliness of the school and there are many opportunities for students.

A really good high school, with teachers who care about the education of their students. Though the lunch, could be better.
6/22/2024
I went to Palo Duro High School all four years of high school and it was a great school to me. The teachers are ready to set you up for success and they care about your mental readiness for college and life.

I use to attend this school and the staff and students made me love it there i hate I had to leave
10/22/2014
All four of my kids went to Palo Duro and loved it. The teachers have no problem getting in contact with parents on there grades. The teachers would stay on top of my kids if they were falling behind. They also helped them so much with the college preparations.
