The teachers are amazing, I loved every single one of them, they were always so kind and sweet, whilst still being genuine. Even the higher-ups in the office fit into the same category. Just so sweet and welcoming. And none of them were afraid of having a good relationship with their students, by making jokes, opening up etc. I genuinely miss this school an absurd amount. I love it. it's the perfect middle school.

William J. Palmer High School is located downtown, near Acacia Park and kitty-corner with the…read morestatue of Palmer riding his horse. As a Palmer alumni, I can say I wouldn't have wanted to go to any other high school in Colorado Springs. The location is great, the teachers are in general good, and the feel of the place is great. Palmer also has the I.B. program, an international program that offers a 4 year accelerated level of study, which can give significant college credits, since you are taking college-level courses in high school. The program requires rigorous testing at the end of the program, which would make even the hardened college-student sweat, and definitely is a great program to prepare for college. Also, since the IB program is closed to IB candidate students, this means that IB students have the same classes with a small-ish (100) group of people for 4 years. This means many strong friendships can flourish. IB aside, the school itself still excels in academics compared to other schools in Colorado Springs. The sports are eh - ask someone else who cares. The administration however of Palmer was iffy at best, especially given the needless draconian hall-monitors, as well as the bumbling of the principle and vice-principle. Security is unnecessarily tight..so much so that I think the people there actually are considering that a terrorist might decide to go ape-shit on a random high-school in a random town in a random state. Ridiculous. Still, if you have an option, send your kid here...they will thank you later.

I attended this school from 2nd grade through high school graduation…read more What makes this school unique is how it does not follow the traditional schedule of most schools. Breaks are taken from elementary school on to have students experience the world around them. Each year students take a different trip, starting in elementary school to places like MEsa Verde or Bent's Old Fort. In Middle School there are many programs to choose from that allow you to take a break from constant studying and explore topics that are interesting for you (I remember taking comic book art and acting). In High School the ECS program cannot be beat. A whole month off to study a topic in depth while traveling? I went to Italy and Bulgaria with these programs and felt that they enhanced my life and encouraged me to explore beyond what most students have when finishing high school. It also gives students the opportunity to play sports when they may not of had one in other schools. It may have changed since I was there, but anyone who wanted to play a sport could, and tryouts would only determine JV and Varsity levels. Small class sizes and dedicated and talented teachers make this school stand out. I owe a lot of my bright future to the great education I received at this school.

They'd be like "well I have rich parents so I can do whatever and if anything wrong happens to me I will tell them and get the other kids in trouble with the principal" there was also not so funny jokes going around the school about a certain German dictator and people even after reading the very sad Anne Franks Diary. Some of the kids were also terrible bully's and instead of the school dealing with it they'd tell you to hold your horses, it got to the point where some kids were feeling like they needed to report minor bullying to Safe2Tell to even get the schools attention. I would not recommend sending your kids for middle school however I would recommend sending them for elementary school. They also had a pretty good basketball program there when I was there so if you dont head this as a warning there's that.

They have an entire sports wing that is lined with photos & awards that the athletes and school have won.They have a "museum" on campus of school memories.
