While most of the staff were very kind and accepting, I believe it would be beneficial for them to learn more about disabilities and how to treat those kids.

I have attended Palisade High school for all 4 years of high school and in my opinion it's not a terrible school. Compared to the other schools in my district it's a lot better. Even though Palisade is more strict than the other schools I think it is better because that keeps us students in check and gives us more responsibility. I just wish there was better diversity with the students.

5.0 Senior

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.
