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.

I moved to Palisade my Sophomore year and I genuinely don't think I could've ended up any where better. Not only is the education and opportunities for success at this school incredible and vast, I've met some of the greatest people, friends and educators alike.

I like most of the teachers. The ib program is well done. The campus program is not fair and bad for some students. The friends are good and I don't hate going to school.
