Personally, I had the best high school experience at Palo Verde High School. There are many clubs and sports one can decide to participate in. My favorite extracurricular I joined was the Women's Flag Football team. I was a part of this team for all four years of my High School career, and I was able to letter in it! One reason I decided to give my school 4 stars is the lack in consistent teachers. One subject I found very lacking in properly teaching their students was Math. Not only myself, but my friends all have had at least one teacher who would just hand out work without teaching the subject fully. Other than this inconsistency, I believe Palo Verde is a school everyone should attend!
Great school! I feel like they prepare you well for college. I also felt they had great athletic opportunities. However, when I was there, I wish the teachers were supported by the administration more. In addition, I wish there was more opportunities to learn about social justice and inequalities.
Palo is a good school compared to most schools in the state at least for public schools. Teachers are kind and helpful and know the material they are teaching, but there is no push to make students go further in their academics. Otherwise, there is a wide variety of courses to choose from including IB and many AP courses. The band is very renowned and so is the choir. Concerning safety, the school is in very good shape and nothing has really happened that has put students in harms way. Being a bigger school the diversity at Palo is excellent as well as the massive amount of clubs, activities, and sports teams.
