My family is new to the Easton area and new to the school district. I find Palmer elementary to not be a very friendly and welcoming school at all. There are no minority teachers here and teachers speak to these children with frustration and no emotion or care for them. I have witnessed this too many times to count. I’m sadden. The front desk secretary also is super rude and no personality and neither a principal. I’m sad that I feel stuck at this school for 5 years. I’m sad that every day I drop my child off to a school for 8 hours a day with adults who truly hate their jobs and couldn’t care less about my child. It scares me to think if an emergency these are the adults that would be securing his/her safety. They really should do better. I would love to discuss my concerns with someone who actually would care but there isn’t anyone in this school district who would listen.

The school provides a lot of variety of classes but you need to stay on top of the grades. Most teachers are great and really care about their student achievement. Teachers do sometimes forget to put them into the system until it is too late to question a grade. One waited almost a month and a half to upload a grade. There also isn't a real emphasis on post-secondary school life (college or trade school). If I had known that I would have to act as a teacher policeman I would have chosen a different school district and moved..

I went to Easton middle school during 2020-2023, and those were some of the worst years of my life. I’ve only met one faculty member that I thought actually cared about my well being, whereas everybody else just wanted a good rating and wanted to appear to care. This school is very unsafe, there’s shooting and bomb threats constantly, as well as multiple fights just in one day. Education wise, if you want a very basic education that doesn’t actually teach you how to learn or what you’re actually doing, but instead just teaches you for a test then allows you to forget everything you so called “learned” then this is the perfect school for you. All the teachers just care about appearing to be a good teacher by just preparing you for the next test, but don’t teach you in a way where you retain the information. Sports wise, this school is very athletic and can definitely be a good choice if you are looking for nothing else but to be good at a sport. They don't have any control over the students, they don’t show any authority and so the kids just run wild. I cannot stress enough how much of an issue that fights and bullying is at this school. It is not safe at all. I recommend a private school for your kids, I left this place with very bad anxiety. Please protect your kids well being.
