This school is cool if you are a smart person who also wants to be popular and kind of chip away at…read morea great college resume. Located in a clumsy, not very impressive downtown area, it does help remind students that there is very little after life in high school unless you prepare for adulthood (and consider myself the one who skimmed the notes and got stuck there anyway). An open campus is what differentiates Palmer from the other Colorado Springs schools. Local businesses thrown caution in the wind by allowing these students in during lunch periods. Only now can I actually imagine what it must be like for these people being forced to handle loitering by petulant teens. It is important to realize these workers are maybe tired but they also don't take shit from anyone. The teachers for the most part are great, like any other high school. Maybe they need a teacher that's more like Patch Adams? He can also help some kid that's dying of cancer and give him hope. I don't know if the kid makes it though because it's something I just made up. It didn't actually happen. I was here during Columbine, 9/11 and a murder mystery but before the perv art teacher. Although he was my art teacher, too. He literally made us draw a drawing he did of a stapler. And he was offensive co-ordinator for the football team or something. The end.

William J. Palmer High School is located downtown, near Acacia Park and kitty-corner with the…read morestatue of Palmer riding his horse. As a Palmer alumni, I can say I wouldn't have wanted to go to any other high school in Colorado Springs. The location is great, the teachers are in general good, and the feel of the place is great. Palmer also has the I.B. program, an international program that offers a 4 year accelerated level of study, which can give significant college credits, since you are taking college-level courses in high school. The program requires rigorous testing at the end of the program, which would make even the hardened college-student sweat, and definitely is a great program to prepare for college. Also, since the IB program is closed to IB candidate students, this means that IB students have the same classes with a small-ish (100) group of people for 4 years. This means many strong friendships can flourish. IB aside, the school itself still excels in academics compared to other schools in Colorado Springs. The sports are eh - ask someone else who cares. The administration however of Palmer was iffy at best, especially given the needless draconian hall-monitors, as well as the bumbling of the principle and vice-principle. Security is unnecessarily tight..so much so that I think the people there actually are considering that a terrorist might decide to go ape-shit on a random high-school in a random town in a random state. Ridiculous. Still, if you have an option, send your kid here...they will thank you later.

sometimes the school is nice but the bullying and fights still aren't monitored enough to be…read morestopped. The kids there are rude and make the staff's life very difficult if the staff doesn't show dominance and the punishments at this school aren't as harsh as some need to be. The school's food is clearly a little bit unsanitary and a little weird looking sometimes and has caused sicknesses constantly. Students break the dress code all the time and have been caught vaping in bathrooms. I didn't have too much of a hard time there but (most students) are disrespectful and rude and the poor teachers are so worn out and nice that they have to be rude back but then the students just hit harder so if your thinking about going to this school i suggest you come prepared.

Ok so I thought I would finally make a review about this place after all of the trauma I've had…read morehere. When I first moved to Colorado Springs I thought it would be great. As it turned out it was not! After I finally found a school that looked okay enough to enroll my honey bobo in, I was so relived. When my precious went to his first day there, I found out I should not be relived. The second he got in to the buliding Mrs. Erica Patina came in and started playing 5 cowbells right in front my little baby. The next second my baby was being yanked into a tiny room with 100 kids in it to learn about the rules and expectations. They also separated the kids into diffrent groups of color. I mean how could they, what do you been my baby wouldn't be able to see all of his sweet little friends in class. Finally after 3 hours my baby got to go to lunch at 12 o'clock! My baby used to eat at 10 AM before he went to this place. Anyways since I was busy that day I was not able to make him a sweet little heartfelt meal so he had to eat school lunch. I thought the school lunch would be like every other school he's went to. Well turns out it wasn't. He finally got to order his meal after a 10 minute wait. He decided that he was just going to get a chicken sandwich expecting it to be like a fast food sandwich turns out it was the opposite. It was just a patty of soggy raw chicken with a few bread crumbs on there to add some "fun" to it. There was no fun in my baby's food poisoned stomach that night. Anyways my baby endured 3 years of this place every year he begged me to leave. Also they have these letters at the front office that says that there is asbestos in the school. Cancer and therapy! I do not have enough money for that. Finally we left after his "graduation" more like gym crowed with seats. -Lynda Jhonson

I attended this school from 2nd grade through high school graduation…read more What makes this school unique is how it does not follow the traditional schedule of most schools. Breaks are taken from elementary school on to have students experience the world around them. Each year students take a different trip, starting in elementary school to places like MEsa Verde or Bent's Old Fort. In Middle School there are many programs to choose from that allow you to take a break from constant studying and explore topics that are interesting for you (I remember taking comic book art and acting). In High School the ECS program cannot be beat. A whole month off to study a topic in depth while traveling? I went to Italy and Bulgaria with these programs and felt that they enhanced my life and encouraged me to explore beyond what most students have when finishing high school. It also gives students the opportunity to play sports when they may not of had one in other schools. It may have changed since I was there, but anyone who wanted to play a sport could, and tryouts would only determine JV and Varsity levels. Small class sizes and dedicated and talented teachers make this school stand out. I owe a lot of my bright future to the great education I received at this school.

CSS is an amazing non-profit, independent day school. Easy access since they have a bus system. It…read moreis an age 3 to grade 12 college prep program with incredible life skills and social/emotional learning included in the program. Great sports and art options too. Absolutely no other place quite like it to receive such a well rounded education. Small classes sizes. Stellar faculty, staff, parents, and students. This is a place to call home.
