I liked the block scheduling and school spirit at Palmerton! Block scheduling made the semesters a lot easier to keep up with your classes being longer and only having to focus on four at a time. I would like to see a change in the science department I feel that the sciences were not taught thoroughly in any science I took.

I am just now starting out my sophomore year. There is barely any homework to do outside of school. I feel that some of the teachers are nice and helpful and they actually care about the students, others, not so much... I feel that all you have to do is memorize the information and you can pass just fine, you never really have to retain it. I am a good student, I get A's and I am involved in clubs and sports, but I feel that I haven't really learned anything. I memorize it for the test and next week I wouldn't be able to tell you half of the information. I do not know if this is just me, but it is a problem.

There isn't much diversity here at all. Its a small school and town, most people born and raised here so its different to see different cultures come in, but its also very nice to get a feel and see different people.

Average school, but more concerned with taxing the community to fund their buying properties & upgrading sports fields. The taxes raise while test scores fall.
