Throughout my years in high school I am really glad I applied to Palisades High because it made me feel very empowered and determined to succeed. There are a lot of opportunities and clubs you can take part of in the campus. The teachers are very experienced and themselves where students at Pali. Not only are the teachers good but the food is amazing! The food at Pali has to be one of my favorite things about the school. Some of my favorite meals are pancakes w/strawberries and whip cream, alfredo pasta with bread, and buffalo wings with French fries. The school is near the beach and everyday afterschool me and my friends get to see the relaxing view of the beach. Pali is also very diverse and welcoming to international kids. There is also a small village with popular stores that many students enjoy like Starbucks, Subway, Ralphs, a café called Palisades Garden and many more. Not to mention I live about 10 miles away. Overall, I do not regret going to Palisades Charter High School.
This school is fantastic for outgoing, social people. The sports and VAPA departments are very strong, and there are lots of opportunities for students to get involved in the student leadership community! It's big and by the ocean, which gives a very laid-back feel to the school. There is a large variety of classes that are offered, so you can find an elective that interests you very easily. The school is also great about providing students with opportunities to get students involved with extracurricular and college communities.
Palisades Charter High School manages to create some phenomenal opportunities and create a very diverse environment, while failing at many other issues that shouldn't be the case.
The English, history, and language department are all quite capable. However, the science and math departments are very lacking. Most math teachers are very rude, unhelpful, and make things much more complicated than necessary, while many science teachers just give homework without truly lecturing or using class time to teach.
The diversity is present, however, it's because the school draws many students from far areas, and OVERCROWDS the school. It is much above the capacity it should have, and causes classrooms to have over 42 people, forcing at least 2 students to drop out of a class for no real good reason.
While this school will be able to create a positive academic record, the experience with teachers is mixed, the lack of funding is obvious and the higher ups don't truly do a great job.
