First off most of the teachers are great. The problem lies with administration. The counseler we will call Mrs. B is horrible and does not help address the needs of students. Just a little more we asked her to be an advocate for our student with a teacher and an unfair grading policy. She refused to assist or get involved. Thankfully our student still graduated in the top 50! She is not an advocate for the students and simply doesnt do her job. This school has great students who are very successful but I could only imagine what they could accomplish if the administration and counselers truly cared. P.S. I was shocked to hear boo's at graduation after they mentioned Mrs. B's name. Felt reassured that it wasnt just my opinion. read more

this school is so horrible from my experience and let me tell you why. today I was hugging my friends and messing around with them but I can't even do any of those things without being yelled at or being sent to the office? so tell me how am i supposed to enertain and keep myself happy at school since you cant do anything for us and you feed us horrible food at lunch so what am I supposed to do at lunch with my friends. I dont see how me and my friends were being disruptive when there are girls in the main quad shaking their butt for everyone and they mamas to see but i cant hug and mess around with my friends that isnt disrupting anyone elses buisness thats some bs. I also tripped today and my friends catched me and we were yelled at because were "hugging" or something like make it make sense and when i told the admin i was slipping and almost fell mark rezendez said "i do not care" so what was my friend supposed to do sit there and do nothing what do you expect? all the teachers here and admin expect way to much of you. they think there school is all this and that until you either send your kids there or go there yourself even kids that have unstable income from their families cant afford to get a 40 dollar calculator just because we need it for one class that a teacher could provide for us and chooses not to because we somehow "lost privileges" in no way shape or form have i seen any of the student mess or break ANY school property items. I was also being harrased by a girl over summer and she threatened to come to my house and confront me for me not wanting to talk to her and be her friend which by the way she couldve easily came to my house knowing where i live and her having a drivers lisence and the second remark that same girl made was that she was going to "stalk" me around school and follow me just to see what im doing. Eventually I had enough of it and told her to leave me alone but she took it as harrament and went to the admin saying i was harrasing her because i told her to leave me alone and they call me up into the office not letting me explain my story whatsoever and sayinf oh yeah we cant do anything about looking or beung near someone even though you can with a no contact order but one of the idiot vice principal who looks like jimmy neutron said "its not necessary" because i guess her threatening coming to my house isnt enough which i find complete bs because rhats someone i could call the cops on so overall this school is very horrible i would continue to report this school for the sake of the students and try to protest for a better school admin and system because what we have now is horrible and not a good enviroment for the students do not send your kids here and dont think about switching to this school if you ever though about it. please believe me and dont let the admin of the school say otherwise because they do it for the looks of the school. go panthers!!!! read more

Let's start off by saying that the bathrooms in this place absolutely disgusting. there's pee all over the stalls and floor. some doors don't lock and close. there are no dividers for the urinals so people can peak at you. The sinks are some ghetto metal looking round things. it smells like vape in those bathrooms all the time. and only half the bathrooms are opened so there's like 20 people in the bathroom from time to tim. and there are no mirrors in it. id say even some gas station bathrooms are better then these. these barley ever get cleaned up and are disgusting and out dated. Now for the staff, there are some teachers that are nice and actually like there job like Ms. Anzolone and Ms. jonsey(super helpful). but there there are other teachers teachers that are passive aggressive, doesn't really want to help you. makes you take nothing but notes on your book the whole day. makes u feel dumb. and is just a not so good teacher. she apears to not like her job and is pretty rude to anyone for no reason. if u got a question u better hope that your friend knows it cus she isn't gonna give you an answer for it. and there's a school wide rule that your not allowed to use your phone. they've put up little baggies and boxes were your supposed to put your phone in but a lot of people just sneak their phone anyway. how are u supposed to expect a teenager to not use their phone? and most teachers know this so they don't care unless the principle is going around the rooms. for some reason ccsd care more about a student not using their phone then a student not using a vape and their sleep. another thing is the school starts at 7am. Now this isn't as bad as the other things in this review i've written. but think about the people that get home late from school cus of something they can't control. like say sports, you get home after practice eveyday at becuase you have to go to 10. so it takes 30 minutes to cook and eat fast. and another 30 minutes to prepare yourself to sleep. and there's 30 mins that you use to lay in bed trying to sleep until you actually do. well this leaves you sleeping around 11:30 every day assuming that you don't have a ton of paper homework your teachers have given. and you have to wake up at 4:30 to get to your buss stop. see how that only leaves a student with around 5 hours of sleep? this affects their mental health so much and are so tired at school. they can't even procces things right and the teachers get mad at them for it. one good thing about palo is their soccer team and the csn building. the bathrooms look modern and are clean and the staff is super helpful and nice, unlike the actual schools staff who are mostly rude. football team is bad too. this school is just bad for people's mental health but atleast... idk we have 8 classes so people can graduate with extra credits. and you can get a scholarship for 10k if u get straight b's which is awesome. all together it's an alr school read more

I am a graduate student from Palo Verde of 2014. When I went to this school, all the staffs here are very nice and helpful. My counselor always makes her students to not give up and achieve academic goals. If I needed help on some questions, my teachers were always there to help me. Ever since I left this school, I still remember all the great memories of my high school life. I wished that all my teachers from Palo were my professors in college since they are the greatest teachers I ever had. If you are an 8th grader, you should come here for high school. There are tons of clubs and activities for everyone to enjoy. If you are a parent, Palo Verde is where you want your teenager to be successful and have a bright future. read more

I am a freshman at this school right now. It is one of the worst schools I have ever gone to. Some teachers are racist and the counselors are complete crap. I got put in a mix and match of electives and my counselor didn't even look at my requests until I had a conference with him. Some teachers are good but most are strict and don't even teach. They watch to see if you are using your phone while you take notes off the board. It is very unsafe as we've already just this year had 3 school shooting threats. And to make matters worse, they only care about the seniors. If you are a freshman, sophomore, or junior, they don't give a crap about what happens to you. Only when you grow up do they actually start caring about you. I haven't even seen the principal all year. She doesn't even got to the school a lot, as she is SO busy making this school a living hell for everyone. Don't send your kids her unless you want them to get stressed and feel unsafe. read more

I've been here at Palo Verde for three years so far and it's been pretty awesome. My music appreciation class and art classes are really fun and informative. My electives helped me figure out what I want to do for a living and a couple of my teachers gave me great advice and brainstormed steps I need to take to reach my dream of becoming a songwriter. Most of the teachers are chill and like to have conversations with their students after they are done teaching the class. This school feels like a family friendly environment for the most part. Yes the counselors/ office people aren't the greatest. Back in sophomore year, I was having a panic attack bawling my eyes out and one of the counselors screamed at me to go back to class which I thought was pretty messed up. It's their job to help students mentally and emotionally. If your teen, like me has mental disorders such as depression, anxiety etc., don't expect their counselor to help him/ her through things. You also cannot have a confidential conversation with your counselor even if they say they'll keep it confidential. They call home every time you go to them which is why I stopped telling them things. My teachers however are understanding and let me take a couple minutes outside of class to get fresh air and calm myself down which is nice. I do recommend this school though. There's lots of great electives and extra curricular activities. The math teachers are beyond amazing and are available at lunch time to get help if you're struggling. read more

I went here years ago. Class of 2009. When I was going school here. It was a good school.. Till some of the workers started getting racist..

the dance teacher Mrs kim is rude! straight up rude. when the whole class is participating she sits there and acts like we aren't. then gets mad at tiny little things. which some things she has the right to but most of the time she doesn't. she started out nice and now she always is complaining. constantly saying how we're her worst class and she hates us. not how a teacher should act read more
