This School is full of good and not too good memories. But this school has been evolving and has became better over time. It keeps on adding alot of improvements. The food is very good especially the chicken and the staff do indeed try their best to make it easier for the students. I have learned a buscar of stuff and I am very grateful to attend in a humble, diverse, and creative environment.

Palisade Prep was a good school in terms of the academics but the schools resources were heavily limited to a certain degree.

I spend my whole high school at palisade its a decent school, some teachers are really nice but for some of them to pass that class you need to be a teacher's pet or be really close to them to have a decent trade. They aren't many programs that students can join, there are some after schools but thy not really that interesting. its medium school after all.

The students are very disruptive and disrespectful and the atmosphere is not condusive to learning. Put your bids in early f...
