My daughter just started kindgarden and I'm already impressed by what she has learned. She loves her teachers and hates to leave if I pick her up too early. They do have a website now, by the way. Overall, I think Palmer is great!!

I attended Palmer for nine years. It was nice to have the teachers actively involved in the students academics, they always made you stay on top of assignments, and if you were slipping they were more than willing to help. The discipline was very stern, which keeps kids in line. The downside, though, are the fact that the school has not stepped into the 21st century. They do have a computer room, but the students are not taught anything in there that will help them in high school. They have no website, which means there is no way to access the school other tan by phone, and in order to get the number one would have to go to the office. There is no way to access teachers other than via the office. Students cannot even email assignments or questions to teachers. Great for k-5, but not 6-8.

these teachers know the kids. they take personal interest in their education and development. the discipline is strict but fair. I have only good things to say about the way they do business -- no extra fund raising, they make sure the kids are safely disembarked in the morning rush, good feedback from teachers. Non-sectarian, inclusive, and straightup in their approach.
