Summary:
The 08065 zip code area is home to 3 public schools serving students from elementary through high school: Charles Street School, Palmyra High School, and Palmyra Middle School. While the schools have a diverse student population, they generally perform below state averages on academic metrics, with the exception of Palmyra High School's high graduation rate and low dropout rate.
The Palmyra Public School District, which encompasses all 3 schools, is ranked 486 out of 615 districts in New Jersey and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating the district as a whole is performing below average compared to other districts in the state. The schools also have relatively high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
Across the schools, academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is consistently below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Additionally, the schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be contributing to the low academic performance. However, Palmyra High School's high graduation rate and low dropout rate are positive indicators that the school is able to support students in completing their high school education, even if they are not achieving proficiency on state assessments.
