They did not promote parental interaction. In many ways, they greatly discouraged it. We stayed only 1 year.

We have not had one issue with this school - we love the sense of community, the “paws”itivity, the focus on sciences, projects, and engineering, and the fact that I’ve never seen a teacher or faculty member look unhappy. We absolutely love this school, the parents, and the students.

Overall we have been satisfied we the school. We would choose PPES again. I would like to see more activities for the students (dances, talent shows, class room parties) vs events that raise money only.

Mine and my child's experience at Palisades has been good in some ways and in other ways, this school can improve. The funny thing is, my worst experiences here have been with the front office staff. From first enrolling my child to every time I have to visit the school, the staff has a very elitist and condescending attitude about EVERYTHING. They are very negative and are happy to tell you what is NOT allowed or what they CAN'T do for you rather than what they can do to help. You would think this school was top in the country the way they try to keep kids out. Other than the office staff, teachers need to be held accountable for what they say to their students and how they say it. I have heard of multiple instances where the kids are berated or embarrased in front of the class (by the teacher revealing their grades or test scores) because the teacher is frustrated. Not acceptable. Otherwise, my child's test scores have been excellent as well as him maintaining great grades, which speaks to Palisades apparent ability to cater curriculum to each student's learning style/current abilities.
