I have worked at almost all the schools in Yuma, and so far I find Palmcroft school the highest level of teaching, parent involvement, and they have a Principal that is always there.

I find the curriculmn in each class outstanding and well organized. The staff is very caring and safety always comes first. Sometimes I think they should use this school as a guide line to teacher other schools how to act, teach, show respect to staff, teachers, and students. This is an outstanding school with fantastic teachers and staff. Read less

My son has been at Palmcroft for 3 years and each year has had an exceptional experience. The Principle is hands-on and knows the children by name; because he takes the time to get to know them and involves himself with them each year. The teachers are dedicated and work together as grade level teams.
... Read more The office staff and cafeteria staff are awesome! Whether a school is 'performing' or not, the ultimate responsibility for a childs education lies with the parents. Get to know the teachers and the expected level of work. Choose the teacher who best fits your childs learning style. Parents who find assignments 'vague' are not asking for clarification. Palmcroft is a 'performing' and outstanding school in the district. As a parent, I am actively involved in the expectations and benchmarks; therefore the teachers and staff have never let me down! Kudos to Palmcroft! Read less
