With any school, there is room for improvement; however, Palmetto Middle School teachers work very hard to make accommodations for all the students. After having two of my children attend all grades there, I have come to appreciate the amount of work assigned to the teachers in addition to teaching. I have even volunteered and witnessed the work load of the teachers. Also, I do feel they do all they can under the constraints they have. I do feel, though, discipline could be more strict, but that has to come from the administration. Overall, I have been very satisfied with the school, especially when I compare it to other schools that are not up against the same issues. Yes, I have known of some isolated situations that were not pleasant, but dealing with as many people, emotions, and problems that exist is difficult. Thanks to the teachers who work 10-15 hours a day!

I rate this below average because of grades and teacher professionalism. When you have a child that makes nothing below a 95 for 3 years enter this school and start immediately failing classes and their best grade is an 88, there is something wrong. After much digging, interviewing and networking I have found this to be the case for a number of other students as well. The professionalism of the staff is far below average. Teachers will tell parents one thing, then when the administration questions the teachers their stories change drastically to fit the protocal, teachers ignoring parent's requests for updates and meetings, and parents being talked to and treated like students when they approach an administrator about anything negative, that is beyond unprofessional. Never at any time should a parent have to wait for administrator's to finish a conversation about a ball game before they are acknowledged!

There needs to be better cooperation and communication from the teachers.No response/delayed response from the teachers make it difficult to join in helping your child succeed academically.

My son goes to school here, we have had some problems with big children picking on my son of twelve. He had two events that teachers and principal were involed with the case. I was very inpress with the way it was taken care of. I was very happy with the turn out. The teacher were very involed with my child care. I am very proud to be a parent that my child goes to. It is great and the student are too. I was very happy to see the special ed. classes get envolded with all field trips with the other classes. Most of the student care about teacher and other students there. It is Great to be a part of this school.

I am A STUDENT at Palmetto Middle School. I absolutely LOVE Palmetto and wish that all schools can be as good as this one. Our school enviroment is AWESOME! There are rules we have to abide by but they aren't so strict that we can't enjoy school at all. I have to say that bullying is no problem at our school and our academic standards are set at a high but reasonable level. Our teachers are not only our teachers but our best friends when we feel we have none and when we just GOT to tell someone about a crush we have one someone or grade we got. Whatever the situation is, our teachers are always there for us. Palmetto is a great school and I cannot say enough about it!

My daughter is in the 6th grade at this school. She loves it! Her teachers are all full of energy and they seem to work on standards together. For example, the science and math teachers lessons seem to have common goals. They have taken wonderful field trips this year! I do have one area of concern that I have noticed. There seems to be some problems with bullying especially with the boys.
