Didn't feel safe in the building as a student, food was poor, teaching staff didn't care besides the odd teacher.

palmer high school is a school where many people feel awkwardly about. the school food is disgusting and the school resources and facilities are not maintained the way they should be. there are a handful if good teachers in the school and it is very common to find teachers that most syudents dislike.

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.

The administration has no idea what they're doing, the rules are absolutely ridiculous and the male/athletics/popular students are favored. 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...
