There is a place at Palmer for every student. My kids are happy there, have meet nice friends, have teachers they admire, and are thriving.

We have had a great experience so far. We were worried since it is such a large school but have always had great communication and wonderful teacher offering to step in when our son has had any problems.

Awful! D11 better wake up and get their act together! You can’t hide behind the alumni and say that your school is great when test scores and the culture of the school say otherwise! We have no winning sports teams an athletic director Christina Miner who has no idea what she is doing, an out of touch principal Nrs. Disney and the D11 board who are dinosaurs! Enrollment is declining and you can’t say you attract kids from all other districts. It might have been true in the past, but not now! D11 and Palmer high school need to wake up before it is too late!

This school is just slowly going down hill. They use IB and a strong alumni association as crutches to rest on past laurels. The IB program really hurts morale at the school - it divides the students and the staff. IB/honors PE, really?! You have to keep them separate from the normal kids that badly? Just disgusting. The campus does not feel safe with all the stuff going on downtown around it and kids disappear at lunch time all the time. I feel bad for some of the teachers who really care and try while on a sinking ship.
