This School’s Reviews

4.0 Sophomore

4/8/2020

very good school could use a wider verity of classes, and teach more about the outside world. Teachers are very nice and very understanding towards students

4.0 Junior

3/5/2018

While Palmer High is definitely not the best public highschool, for a small town and lower income community, there is a lot of options here. We have a ceramics class and a bunch of other classes not to be expected at such a small school.

3.0 NicheUser

In this school we have a number of individuals involved in band and the arts programs, and commitment is relatively high.

I've been in a class where a teacher will stop a whole le...

As a former student, now a junior in college, I have to say this school has prepared me for college. I was one of the only people who knew how to organize notes and write a research paper in my first college English class. This skill is major for students going into college and the teachers at Palme...
