I was satisfied with my son's education in Buckeye but when we moved him into Palo Verde, wow!!!! PV has definitely gone above and beyond in meeting his needs. They have embraced him and made this a learning community as opposed to just an educational environment. We are 100% satisfied, and then

If you do not like a small town school, where things are 'old fashioned,' where they all know your name, where there is a real Christmas program, where there are more parents involved, then you may want to go elsewhere.

The principal is easily swayed & is not fair to all students -- there are too many people working at this school who act as if this is the last place they want to be, & unfortunately it shows when they interact with the students. The lack of parent involvement, & music/art, has a negative impact on the kids & the teachers alike. As it grows, I hope it will improve but it hasn't happened yet! Read less

Palo Verde is an overall great School. It has good academic programs, and good sports programs. One area they could improve on is having a music program. Also, the parent involvement is very good. A little side note, Palo Verde has had 2 teachers, that were named Arizona Teacher of the Year. Impressive

Overall this is a great school. It is a smaal rural school that is growing. We have a great Superintendent. A great Principal(who was an excellent teacher, we hated to see him move up because he was such a great teacher). If there was any complants it would be that there is no pre-school at this time.
