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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

My experience in Palmer was a memorable place in my High school years. I love the events and the occasions that I did that will stick with me as a memory of my past. This School was great in my opinion, especially the events and the parties and people who are here. I enjoy my stay and sadly will have to leave when my year ends but I will be sure to visit and see my school change throughout the years.

Palmer highschool was an amazing school. The town of Palmer is small but very social. The classes are are often small giving teachers a chance to work more closely with the kids. Being a small town most people know each other and because of this both parents and students often involves their selves with the school. The faculty are extremely good at keeping parents informed of their kids and work diligently in keeping the school a safe place for kids. I loved my time their and know that it is because of them that I am where I am today. Most of the kids are well behaved and very social and while some of them are rude or rebellious thay never go to far before a teacher or fellow student pulls them back. Over all Palmer high school is an amazing school and with amazing teachers and I am thankful that I graduated from there.

Small public school. Great teachers. Focuses funding a lot on football and not many other sports or extracurriculars.

I've seen it unfold for almost a decade, this is not something I am basing off a one time experience. Unfortunately, none of the staff cares to help...
