I have three students at East- a senior, a junior and a sophomore. I was hopeful that with the previous Principal retiring; things would get better. They have not. Requests to speak with counselors and assistant principals go ignored.My kids complain that many teachers seem lazy and just do the minimum.My oldest daughter cuts classes regularly. I asked that the assistant principal contact me to have a conversation with her. A week later, he still hasn’t gotten back to me.To be fair, there are many teachers who stay after hours to help students and clearly try to do the best they can for students. Sadly, many do not.

I'm a student at this school and I'm just saying that this school doesn't feel safe. The hallways are cramped and messy and every student is unaware of other people. There are fights at least 2 times every week. The teachers provide a little support, but not the best. The learning experience isn't as productive as it should be.

Palmer has provided an exceptional experience for my daughter. All of her teachers have been fantastic and provided a stimulating, fun, inclusive learning environment. She's made great friends from all backgrounds and walks of life. We love the small school experience and the fact that every child receives individualized attention. The YMCA after-school program is great and easy to get into—no wait list or shuttling kids off-site! We also like that the bell time is later than many schools! We're lucky to have such a wonderful school right in our own neighborhood.
