Academy at Palumbo is a great school! It's a very diverse learning facility, with a very rigorous curriculum. There are plenty of clubs and student made organizations with different ethnic backgrounds. The teachers are very involved and truly want the best for their students. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone who's searching for a safe diverse learning space.
My freshman year at the Academy at Palumbo was great. The environment was very welcoming, people were kind and expressive, and I had a lot of fun. However, my next three years being spent here were nothing compared to when I first got there. There were drama, fights, videos of students doing inappropiate acts going around, and the activities we had were not as interesting. At one point our ceiling collapsed on the 5th floor and many of the teachers had bad water damage. Our school is very broke and it shows. For weeks different teacher's rooms had to get replaced ceilings and students had their classes relocated to others rooms within the school. Now with the pandemic us seniors barely have any activities to do and the information from the principal to staff is not reaching students. We still have not taken our senior photos and it is basically mid February. A lot of things need to be improved with this school.
Very cool school! It had lots of great opportunities. There are a variety of extracurricular activities and clubs offered at this school that students can explore. Students attending this school are very involved in their culture and can learn and showcase their cultures at the school anytime.
