Palm Springs Middle School
The principal here now in palm springs middle school (PSM) is very strict. However, the teachers are the best that you can find in the county. For example, Mr. Landrum, Mr. Normandin, Mr. Diaz-Rubio and etc. These are teachers that help you learn the subject's quickly. The only bad thing I can say about the school is the cafeteria. Sometimes we don't even get called up to go to the line until the last five minutes. I feel that they shouldn't do that because then we have to rush to eat and that is very bad for the body. But other than that this school is like the best school you can possibly go to.

Palm springs middle school is a home to many student teachers faculty and staff and its a great experience to be here. although palm springs has a bad history (accoridng to some sources) it's really a great school. we're an "A" school which shows that pacers work hard for their grades and notice. palm springs has uniform which shows that rules are set and students are to follow them along with decipline and reward. im a current student and i have nothing but good to say about palm springs middle school. :)
