Great school in this southeast community. Teachers really care about student achievement. They have really exciting programs like gardening, coding/robotics, GT, and code.org to name a few.

Palm succeeds where other schools have failed, especially with students with disabilities.

My daughter went here and we loved it! At first I wasn't sure I wanted her to go to palm because of the rating and reviews. The office staff was amazing, Ana remembers every child and makes them smile when they walk in. Both the principal and vice principal treat the kids with respect and made them feel special, shaking their hands, asking them about thier day or giving them praise for doing a good job ect. I volunteered as much as I could because I truly believe that for the school to be its best everyone needs to help out, even if it is making copies or decorating for a dance. They have fun activities for the kids and families all year. The panda store is for the kids to buy stuff (toys, pencils books,etc) with points that they earn for being kind, responsible, helpful and trying. The teachers are awesome too they get involved and creative in how they get them to learn. We are truly going to miss everyone (moved out of state) You will love this place especially if you are involved in the activities and special events

We have two kids here and one with special needs in the beginning. The staff, teachers, Asst Principal and Principal have been such a godsend to our kids. I love the atmosphere and the spirit I see and feel. You have a truly dedicated group here focused on teaching our kids. Communication is pretty good at the upper levels and i really like how they try out new methods to get their news and information out. Id like to point out that the greatest teacher and inspiration is the parent. A parents here and there are pretty lame, ignorant almost and the kids gonna follow their lead. The teachers here are wonderful and the good thing is that the area is growing and the good parents are far outnumbering the lame ones. Im encouraged and grateful.

With a new administrator came higher goals and success rates. While not everyone is happy, our children are getting a better education. The school is no longer one that simply makes parents feel welcome. It is one that welcomes parents to assist in the education of their children. It has been a lot of hard work for all involved. Mouse, Maag, Hedayatifar, Frederick and Kokernot have been great teachers for my child. Support your student and their teachers and success will come. Even for those who struggle. Palm staff is here to educate our children....and theirs.
