Palmetto has improved greatly in the last couple of years. This is not the easiest place to live and the parent invovlement is not the greatest, but the teachers are outstanding and work hard to provide a quality education. Also the administration strives to provide a solid foundation on which to build a quality school. The new PTA this year has been great and has done a great job and has also contributed to helping turn around the atmosphere of the school. I am glad my children attend.
The administration lacks (in my opinion)the necessary efficiency to adequately operate this school. Check out the CRCT scores for the 2006-2007 school year. There needs to be some form of investigation and not just in-house. Advice to parents of future students: beware especially if you have an AP or TAG student.
I think that Palmetto Elementary School needs to have a good look at themselves. The turn over of staff is outrageous, and many of the teachers do not seem happy with the administraiton of the school and there is not a lot of support for students, parents or teachers. They do not do a good job of keeping the teachers that truly care for students and want to see the best in them. I am sick of seeing these students have subsititute teachers so often that are not qualified to teach!
I have a 5th, 4th, & 3rd grader. My kids have been @ Palmetto for 2 yrs. I like the school and my kids seem to enjoy it a lot. The teachers that my now 4th grader has had the 2 yrs he has been here they have challenged him in my opinion to his full potential. Even though they do have a teacher shortage the individuals that are there filling in are doing an excellent job and they take the job of educating the kids very seriously. I must say that I am happy that I made the choice to move to Palmetto.
