My experience at Palo Verde High Magnet School is amazing you'll meet so many people who will care about you and help you graduate high school. You'll meet good friends and nice teachers who will help you. The sports here are good but basketball and volleyball are more exciting. Plus our pep rallies are so much fun!!

My experience at Palo Verde was a good one. The teachers and staff at Palo Verde were very considerate and really cared about the students that attended the school. They helped they students get bus passes though the school so that we could attend class and didn't ditch. Some of my teachers even offered homework help after school to help us better understand what we are learning. I don't think that there is anything that I would want to change about the school at the moment.

I have been surprisingly delighted with the experience I have had with this school! My son is autistic and has been provided with amazing support from the staff. Their IEP meetings were detailed and truly individualized to my child.

The fine arts program here is very underrated and sadly does not get enough attention from the rest of the faculty/students. Great fine arts department. Lots of g...
