Palm Springs High School Reviews
Rating 3.81 out of 5 427 reviews
I think the one thing that stands out about PSHS is its diversity, which is something that not only makes all people feel included, but also teaches people about the importance of accepting others. At the same time, given such a diverse campus, adversity is still present in many forms.
The worst thing about the school is its lack of student-faculty connectivity. Many students don't get along with each other or teachers simply due to poor education or underlying prejudices. While it might be difficult to promote school-wide interconnectivity and equality in a school of over one thousand kids, I feel like the faculty could do a better job.

Overall experience with Palm Springs high school is delightful. I appreciate the administration really making students feel like a family. The down side from school is is students involvement. A change I would like to see is more socializing activities.
Without the help of my friends, Palm Springs High School would have been more of a bad experience than a good. Most of the teachers I had were very friendly and helpful.
