Four schools share the Palms campus and its facilities:

  • The Palms Neighborhood School. For students in the Palms attendance area, Palms is their home school.

The academic and social environment at Palms, the experienced and dedicated faculty and staff, the high test scores, the enrichment opportunities and events for parents and families, and active support organizations and the Friends of Palms booster club combine to make Palms the best middle school in Los Angeles.

Neighborhood School

Palms Middle School is a vital part of the Palms area community. Ours is a residential community, with easy access to the campus on foot or via Palms Blvd. by driving, bus, or metro. See our location, our walking routes, public transportation information, and Drop-Off Lane information.

Honors Program

Qualifying home school students are selected for the Honors program, which is academically equivalent to the Gifted/High Ability Magnet Program. The difference is administrative, with Honors classes within the Regular School and its budget and the Magnet School having a separate budget. Core magnet and non-magnet classes have the same curriculum but are taught separately. Home school and Gifted/High Ability Magnet School students are mixed for electives and for physical education.
