In contrast, Palmyra-Macedon Middle School struggles with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to state averages, particularly in grades 6 and 8. This underperformance at the middle school level may be influenced by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 37.05% to 46.32% across the district.

While Palmyra-Macedon Primary School has maintained a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years, the district-level proficiency rates remain below state averages, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support to improve academic outcomes. Additionally, the limited racial diversity across the schools suggests an opportunity to foster a more inclusive learning environment for all students in the Palmyra-Macedon Central School District.
