Palmer Middle School

I've had two children at this school and it's been wonderful! I love all the faculty and staff I've had the opportunity of coming into contact with over the last five years. The principal seems very willing to listen to teacher feedback and advocates for her staff. Most recently they made adjustments to the 5th grade schedule based on a meeting the 5th grade teachers had to further customize their education based on their students needs. My experience has been wonderful!

My child has been going to the school since kindergarten. I think in any school the first 2 years are pretty easy since they're just learning about school, everything went great there. But once the years progressed, and he had a little bit more struggling to learn, the teachers became more less patient with him.And didn't really have the tools they needed to deal with adhd student. The school safety, I don't know what's wrong these kids making threats to the whole school or to certain kids like my child. It's sad because it's just an elementary school and kids are already threatening to kill one another. And actually having a weapon like scissors on them after making a threat. I am just so glad that this school year is almost over and my kid will be moving soon.I will not be sending them to the middle school with all these bad kids. I really think this school has gone down since years prior. I will say some teachers are great.But there's some teachers who have zero patience for a high ADHD student.

As a parent of a child with special needs, our experience at Chalker Elementary has been disappointing. While the school may appear welcoming on the surface, we encountered serious issues regarding special education support and communication. Our child’s IEP was not consistently followed, services were delayed or missed, and we found it difficult to get clear answers from staff. Inclusion was lacking, and we often felt our child was treated as a burden rather than a valued and included individual. When we tried to advocate for improvements, the response was defensive rather than collaborative.

My daughter has been going to this school since she was in Kindergarten we've never really had any issues up until fourth grade. She ended with the worse set of teachers, they bully the children an say hateful things to the students an piggyback off of each other. An when confronted they lie and act like nothing ever happened. These two ladies should consider retirement. I wouldn't say this is the worse school but if you can avoid this set of fourth grade teachers please do!!

Be very mindful when choosing a school for your children. It’s important to ensure the staff truly supports them and not the opposite. My experience with Jessica Appleyard as a principal has been incredibly disappointing. This experience has been heartbreaking and frustrating. The lack of compassion, transparency, and genuine care for my son’s well-being has been deeply disappointing. Parents, think carefully before sending your child here.

I have multiple students who attended from kindergarten all the way through and graduated from Shiloh Hills Christian. They received an excellent education preparing them for acceptance into competitive colleges. There was academic rigor and I love that they were known like family. That is one of the strengths of this school. Students are genuinely loved, cared for, challenged, and celebrated. I would highly recommend Shiloh to perspective families.

This school has been such a huge part of our lives for the past three years. My son just finished his Kindergarten year here and is starting first grade, and I honestly couldn’t be more proud of how far he’s come.The Montessori approach has been amazing for him. I’ve seen him grow so much, not just academically but as a person. He learned to read, started writing in cursive, and really got a solid understanding of math concepts, all at his own pace. But what I love even more is how confident, independent, and respectful he’s become. He’s developed such a love for learning, and I truly credit that to the environment this school has created.One of the things that made me feel so comfortable early on was how safe and nurturing the school feels. The teachers are kind, patient, and clearly love what they do. I always felt like my son was in good hands.Communication with the staff has also been great. Any time I had a question or concern, they were always quick to respond and happy to talk things through. It really feels like a partnership.I’m so grateful we found this school and that my son had the chance to experience these early years in such a thoughtful and caring environment. Highly recommend to any parent looking for something more than just a traditional classroom.
