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.

My favorite part of Palo Verde High School is the wide variety of classes availible here whether it by and elective or a CTE course. I am a part of the International Baccelaureate Certificate Program which is another great part about my school. I would like to see change in the safety and regualation of students.

Most of the counselors are not helpful towards bettering their students academic career and getting them on a successful path, especially counselor Dambro, who is aggressive towards...

This school has amazing students, families, and teachers. There is a toxic culture within the leadership at this school. It is no surprise that it has dropped to 6 stars. I hope someone can come rescue this school, it should be better.
