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 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.

The foreign language department lacks the resources needed to achieve fluency in the 2 languages offered.

They keep you accountable and the location makes it easier to for them to keep track of you. They also have many teachers and the principal that are vested in helping the students reach their goals and get through school. There are many programs and extra curriculars for students as well. These are some of the best and worst. Being at school because your grades are low, is bad but it helps you get those grades back up.
