We have been part of the Palms family for 2 years and so far we've had a good experience; with the exception of one incident regarding a student bothering our child. The incident was dealt with appropriately by the principal. The teachers our child has had have been excellent! Our child has been excelling and is eager to go to class every day.

All teachers we have interacted so far in last 2 years are very helpful and supportive. Always ready to talk to parents, listen to their concerns and take corrective action. I would give rating of 8 if i can.

Palms Elementary is a fantastic community school. Students are taught mindfulness so they are ready to learn and teachers incorporate Systems Thinking into all areas of the curriculum. The special education program is fantastic - students are mixed with general education classes for part of their day so they can learn and build relationships with typical peers. Palms hosts a Preschool Comprehensive Program, specific learning disability classes, deaf and hard of hearing classes, and a resource program.

I am such a fan of Palms Elementary School! The teachers really care about their students and do a great job working on character development. They work on critical thinking skills and use Systems Thinking to show connections in all study areas. Most importantly, my student loves to learn and has grown academically while at Palms.

Palms Elementary is a great school. My son has had great, passionate, caring teachers (Mr. Spencer and Ms. Temple). He has worked with Ms. Austin for speech since age 3, and he loves working with her because she is passionate about what she does. This school is a gem to our community.

I am very happy my child attends Palms. I really don't understand the low rating. the staff cares. Most of the parents care. And my child is learning so much academically and socially and I'm not bombarded by donation request.

I have one child attending Palms now and will have my second child attending next year. Mr. Spencer and Ms. Temple have been the two teachers that I have had the pleasure of having my child be in their classes. They have pushed and furthered my daughters education in an extremely encouraging way. I look forward to my son attending Palms and cant wait to see how his knowledge grows too.
