  • Palmdale High is a great school! Although to many parents it may seem worrisome for their children to attend the school because of the bad propaganda it gets. But I see now that parents are seeing through the awful publicity the school gets, and are allowing themselves to let palmdale high blossom! Newer generations of students are coming to Palmdale High wanting to progress in academic purposes. The school for the most part has great guidance and teachers. Palmdale High excels with great programs. There medical magnet program is one to be interested in if you want to be skilled in the medical field. Palmdale High is a great school for any one to attend and, although it might have bad publicity for its flaws in some students that attend. But the press many times chooses to ouster the negative press of some schools and just chooses to add negative influence on Palmdale. Yet the school remains an excellent place for a child to learn and become a successful adult!
