Best Public Schools in Palmyra, IN

Summary:

Palmyra, Indiana is home to a single elementary school, Morgan Elementary School, which serves students from grades K-6 within the North Harrison Community School Corporation district. While Morgan Elementary stands out for its strong math performance, the school faces challenges related to declining academic ranking, socioeconomic factors, and chronic absenteeism.

Morgan Elementary School boasts impressive math proficiency rates, with 65.24% of students meeting or exceeding standards, significantly outpacing both the district (51.17%) and state (52.4%) averages. However, the school's overall statewide ranking has dropped from 172 in 2021-2022 to 287 in 2023-2024, suggesting a potential decline in academic performance relative to other Indiana elementary schools. Additionally, with over 54% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school likely faces socioeconomic challenges that can impact academic achievement.

Further areas of concern at Morgan Elementary include its high rate of chronic absenteeism (8.9%) and a lack of racial diversity, with 95.71% of the student population identifying as white. These factors, combined with the school's declining ranking, suggest that Morgan Elementary may need to address attendance and equity issues to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed academically.
