The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My daughter attends palcs since 8th grade and she is a senior this year. She will graduate with a 4.0 GPA, 30 college credits and an Adobe certification because she has been working her butt off since she started cyber school. She still has enough time to do shorts at our local school district and work part time. She learns to advocate for herself and works with her teachers to ensure her own success. It's not for everybody, but I appreciate how much I get to share in her success through the school communication. It's been a good choice for us. There should be more get together for students, like escape rooms, dances etc. but even when the school offers those, the attendance is often very low.

I attend PALCS' in-person arts school, CPFA. In my opinion the teachers at PALCS are typically uncommunicative and technologically illiterate, despite the fact that PALCS is an online school. However, I do like my CPFA teachers. They are mostly competent and skilled in their fields. But we need a new CPFA building with a room that is actually equipped for instrumental music. Currently we are in an office building which is cramped and has no sound proofing.
In my opinion this school isn’t very good. I did online school and I didn't have a good experience. I don’t understand why they lock assignments we can’t even complete anything else until I figure out how to unlock my assignments. The website is extremely laggy, it takes half of a minute to load. If...
I have been a student at palcs for a few years now, and I will give my COMPLETE honest opinion. I do not like this school. The teachers do not have the ability to teach. They haven't teached me almost a thing, rather I have to learn everything myself by searching for it. The school literally takes n...
