I really love Pali and love the people and classes offered. My biggest complaint is that some teachers are questionable and the entire math and science department is bad.
1/21/2025
Palisades Charter was a great high school to attend. I couldn't think of a better high school to become an alumni. Even though half of it burned down during my senior year, they still are trying their hardest to stay strong and make sure to care for all their students.

Some of the best parts are the unions for each race like BSU( Black Student Union), LSU(Latino Student Union) and etc.. These groups do many events that all students can be apart of and many events like field trips, teachings of there history and more. A bad problem this school has is smoking and drinking in the bathrooms and busses.

Pali makes other schools look great. They have a horrible math department with teachers who couldn't care less about their students. They make receiving a good grade much more difficult than other schools in the area ( SAMO, Uni, Hamilton and Beverly). Students have to work twice as hard to be able...

The math department is truly horrific. There are a couple of good teachers and the rest are a joke. Unbelievable that it's this bad. I have heard that the school has tried to address it and ran into the teacher's union. I honestly don't know but this is an ongoing and systemic problem and has been f...
