Palmer Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-11-10 “I have two son's that attend palmer school. I have a first grader and a fourth grader. We only have been at palmer school for little over a year. This school is wonderful and the teachers are excellent on how and what they teach.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-09-20 “I can't say enough good things about Palmer. My daughter is in the 3rd grade and compared to other kids her age much more advanced in reading and language skills especially. I never was much of a reader but find it to be crucial for her development. This school has far exceeded my expectations. I firmly believe this is due to the dedicated teachers and outstanding principal and vice-principal. Great School!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-09-06 “Great school wonderful kindergarden teachers which is so important I found that my older children learn more from these teachers at this school then my youngest did at another school.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2005-08-19 “I am a former student. It was because of the teachers at this school that I have a love for reading. The things I remember most are the way teachers set a standard for the students academic success. They would consistently raise the bar for each person, but in the process keeping us distracted by making it fun. I miss grammer school, really I miss Palmer. Thanks for giving me as much guidance as you did - for as long as you could.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-03-03 “For a school of approximately 900 students, the halls and classrooms are immaculate and order is maintained. Leadership from the principal and assistant principal is excellent, although both are nearing retirement age so succession is an issue. My major concern stems from the lack of an honors program for students performing above the norm. The response is always 'test for a gifted or magnet school' but with so few available seats in these types of schools, it would be wonderful if Palmer would take a stand and make this a priority.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2004-12-02 “The focus at this school seems to be reading, which is great. Early on, students are asked to do book reports and read at least 20-30 minutes a day. However, there doesn't seem to be a different learning 'track' or program if your child happens to be one of the slower/quicker learner in the classrooms. The focus is on maintaining an average level, rather than challenging those who are ready to move forward. Unfortunately, the school seems to dismiss the value of recess, computer classes, music and other such cirriculum. This is probably due to lack of funding and - I think - a huge downfall to an otherwise decent school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2004-06-08 “I recently moved to Los Angeles and everything my 8 year old daughter is learning in her new school she has learned in 1st grade. Palmer was a very in-depth and hands on school. They're curriculum was challenging. If I could I would put my daughter right back in there. I would highly recommend this school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2004-05-05 “Best school on the northside of chicago”
