GreatSchools Rating
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.

The school has amazing resources that a lot of kids can have to have a great education. It's not very diverse unfortunately and I did face a bit of racism.

The amount of different classes that a student can take is very diverse and abundant. There are many options within different fields and students are able to explore different career paths through outside programs too. The staff is very friendly and they are all willing to help all students.

as a student, this place is absolutely awful, administrators pick favorites and treat other kids unfairly, when having an issue like bullying or anything along the lines of that they do absolutely nothing to help no matter how many times you ask, if they don’t like you or aren’t one of the favorites...

Racist school district. I got picked on for being half Hispanic and they always sided with the kid who initiated it (Caucasian).I highly recommend NOT sending your child to Palisades School district, if you're Hispanic.
