Palo Christi Elementary School

This schol is awesome. We live out of the area for Palo Christi but drive that extra mile or two so that our son can attend there. Principal and staff are great. This year the 2nd graders excelled 15% higher than other schools in our area for testing. Looking forward to my son attending 1st grade thru 5th there.

Coming from a home that has three generations that have been going to Palo Christi, I really like the school.You have a couple of items wrong. There is now a new principal, Mr. Hite, that is doing a wonderful job. The school only goes to the sixth grade now.It may be a small school and not a very 'rich', school but, the teachers love the kids and it shows.Maybe if the State of Arizona would take care of thier schools with more funds, attitudes would improve.Being a officer in the PTVO I see alot of things the state needs to look into,more funds for Library Aids, would help the kids read more.

I have a son who attended Palo Christi from Kindergarten through 6th grade. He is extremely bright and all of his academic needs were definately taken care of. The person who left the poor report about academics here is grossly mistaken (and needs a little help with grammar and spelling too!) My daughter just started Kindergarten this year and I wouldn't dream of placing her anywhere else. The teachers, staff and school resource officer are very caring people. Palo Christi is a great school!

I am very pleased with this school. For a small town such as this, I never hear negative comments on Palo Christi. I actually petition the district to allow my child to attend, as we do not live in the district. My child has had a wonderful experience with devoted caring teachers. She looks forward to school everyday and what new things she will learn. I think Palo Christi is as resonsible as I am for instilling a love for school in my child.

I would discourage anyone from letting their child attend palo chrisit, do whatever you have to to get your child into another school. I also felt that the education was more focused on the slow children in the classroom, then the above average which was not fair to the more advanced students. My son attend palo christi for kindergarten and 1/2 of 1st grade-i was very disappoited!

The academics here are good and based on the AZ Standards. We have a music teacher that really does music. We have computers and PE. We have clubs after school like Chess and Computers and now we have gifted. The parents here are busy because there is usually only one, and they work a lot.

Palo Christi has the best principal in the state. Mrs. Logas is very caring about all students and staff. She supports students and teachers and seeks fairness to resolve all disciplinary matters. She has a good sense of humor, dedication to her staff and students. She likes all students and parents, she is so good to have at Palo Christi.
