    The Palms "Bait" renters with a price then raise the rent every year like clockwork. I moved in to save money but now pay more because they seemed very trusting in the beginning.... Moving to the Palms was one of the biggest mistakes of my life.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on scale of 1 (below average) and to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider needs as part of the school selection process.
