GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

What I like about Palo Verde High is that it's a small school so everyone knows everyone and we have a really good homecoming and great teachers, but if I could change anything it'd be the spirit at school and making it more peppy.

I am a Class of 2020 Graduate. My experience with my High School was awesome until this pandamic hit us. It stopped all our sports Grad Night and Prom. We had a awesome turn out for our graduation. But before the pandamic I played Football and Baseball. I am honor Student and First Time All League in Football. It it a very small school and we all knew each other we are like Family. We all stuck together and helped each other out when we were in need.

This school is horrible. If I had somewhere else to send my children I would move them in a heartbeat. It is the only high school in the area.
