I can't even express how wonderful I think this school is. Most importantly, I love that they are very strong academically. Based on that alone, I know that my daughter is getting a wonderful education. She is just finishing kindergarten, and her kindergarten teacher, Ms. Keen, is amazing. I don't know how she does it, but I commend her. In addition to how great the school is academically, they really encourage these kids to have good character, which is really important to me. They all recite a pledge about character along with the Pledge of Allegiance each morning, and I think that really helps to give that message to these kids. The PTO is amazing in all of their efforts at raising money not only for the school for a couple of the faculty who are battling cancer. I could just go on and on. My daughter attends with a variance right now, but we plan on buying a house within the district in the next few years so that she can finish out the remainder of her Elementary School years before moving on to Western Sky and eventually Millennium.

Palm Valley Elementary has been the best school for my 1st grader. Mrs. Spiak is an awesome teacher and has gone out of her way to ensure my child succeeds. The faculty, for that matter is awesome. From the teachers to the maintenance deparrment, they have all made the Palm Valley experience to be a wonderful one.

Over the last few years it seems to be getting more and more crowded. Classroom sizes are ridiculous. Not to mention the pick up and drop off is very unorganized.

Plan Valley Elementary school is a Five Star school in my experience! My child has not only had a great time both learning and having fun. She has excelled since she started at Palm Valley and her eagerness to learn has kicked into over drive! I recommend Palm Valley Elementary school to every child! I know that my child will be successful due to Pam Vallets

The school is good but the classes have too many kids. Why keep accepting variances? I have also noticed that things change because the principal's kid has special needs. NOW allergy issues are taken seriously where before they weren't. Just make sure your kid has the same issue as the principal's kid and you will be fine.

We are an excellent school, and still find ways to continue excelling, never comfortable with just succeeding, but forever striving to do more, reach more, and excel more. We will be a 5-star school by the end of the next school term. So come excel with us!

I have 4 sons enrolled in Palm Valley and have to say I have been very happy with kindergarten's Mrs. Luckow. With her dedication to the students and her wonderful personality she probably had the best turn-out this year of volunteer parents. Thank you to the kindergarten team and Mrs. Luckow.
