Palisades Elementary School

This school has a new principal, which has totally changed the atmosphere on campus for the better! He is open to new ideas and is very enthusiastic. The situation is a complete 180 since the last review was posted in 2010. The office staff are most kind and helpful, a very active PTA and OUTSTANDING teachers!

We have been here two years so far and notice there is a bigger emphasis on rewards for raising money than anything. No community projects, no special ed inclusion, no genuine interactions between principal and parents. Very cold. Closed. Our children are here because this is 'our' school (though it doesn't seem that way).

How can you not love a school overlooking the Pacific Ocean? It is a great environment for learning, offers a great after school progran in the YMCA, and the faculty are committed to children (even in the midst of all kinds of budget cuts).

I love the teachers at Palisades. They are kind, caring, and dedicated to their students. The parents are real, accepting and dedicated to the success of the children as well.

I have sent my three daughters to Palisades. They received an outstanding education all becoming gifted, high achieving students who have become life long learners. They love to read because of the teachers encouragement they got throughout their years at Palisades to read and enjoy reading. They are going to college, graduates and a one year graduate of Palisades, who all had stellar education at Palisades.

My second grade son joined this school mid school year and the teacher greeted him warmly with a pack of of new friends for him in tow. This school has given him all kinds of special assistance and now he is really reading. What a wonderful school!
