Summary:
The city of Palmyra, New Jersey is home to three schools: Charles Street School (an elementary school), Palmyra High School, and Palmyra Middle School. While Palmyra Public School District as a whole is underperforming, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, some schools stand out more than others.
Palmyra High School maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 91.1% and a low dropout rate of 1.2%, but its test scores are generally below the state averages. In contrast, Palmyra Middle School demonstrates some strengths in English Language Arts, but struggles in Mathematics, with only 17.6% of 6th graders, 22.4% of 7th graders, and 25% of 8th graders proficient or better.
Across all three schools, the chronic absenteeism rate is higher than the state average at 16.6%, and the free/reduced lunch rates vary, with Charles Street School having the highest at 24.02%. The district's overall underperformance and potential equity concerns suggest that the Palmyra Public School District has opportunities for improvement, such as addressing attendance issues and targeting academic weaknesses in Mathematics.
