Absolutely terrible, the superintendent is a joke and it all starts with her.

Both of my kids went through the public schools of Palmer, attended renowned private universities, and both got jobs making almost 6 figures in the technology field. They had no outside help (I.e. Tutoring). Their teachers at OMP CMS PHS are all still there. Sometimes the school is working hard and your kid should join them! Success is possible at Palmer because these schools have the opportunities for students to achieve. Parents and students need to recognize this and not try to blame everyone else for any struggles. Haley is the best principal and the math and English teachers in the high school are the best. Science could use some improvement.

This is my childs 2nd year (2nd Grade) and is doing very well. The schools security is the best. Several events are scheduled monthly. Although more challenging work could be assigned I think the schoold does a really good job. The teachers have always been more than willing to take time to spend with the parents. Communications from the school couldn't be better. For a public school this is an outstanding school. If you have a special needs child then maybe you should go private but for me this is good to go.

You guys should be ashamed of yourself for bringing disciplinary action against a 6 year old for having a piece of plastic the size of a quarter on the bus. Perhaps the administration itself should review what "Bullying" really means. It's no wonder your school rates a 4, maybe you should concentrate on educating your students more and the ridiculous prosecution of children for being children, less.

My son is in 2nd grade at this school, his first year here.....prob his last, looking at private...there is no communication between school and parents....school just put in a room for violently behavior children and i think it is wrong and imoral. they have a "Skill Center" that they use as a punishment rather than getting children to think its apositive thing..... ill be going to school board about the "pink" room...if children have that bad of issues then they should NOT be in public school...
