Best Public Schools in Palmyra, NY

Summary:

The city of Palmyra, New York is home to three schools that serve students from primary to high school: Palmyra-Macedon Senior High School, Palmyra-Macedon Primary School, and Palmyra-Macedon Middle School. These schools are part of the Palmyra-Macedon Central School District and serve a predominantly white student population with limited racial diversity.

Among the standout schools, Palmyra-Macedon Senior High School boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 88.9% and a lower-than-average dropout rate of 7.7%. 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.
