Summary:
The Palmyra-Macedon Central School District in New York operates two elementary schools: Palmyra-Macedon Primary School (grades PK-2) and Palmyra-Macedon Intermediate School (grades 3-5). While both schools serve the same district, the data suggests they face some challenges in providing high-quality education to their students.
Neither school stands out as a top performer, with both ranked relatively low within the state. Palmyra-Macedon Primary School is ranked around 1,400 out of over 2,200 New York elementary schools, while Palmyra-Macedon Intermediate School is ranked between 1,700 and 2,100 out of over 2,400 schools. Academically, proficiency rates on state assessments are consistently below the state average for both schools across grade levels in English Language Arts, Math, and Science.
Interestingly, the Palmyra-Macedon Intermediate School serves a more economically disadvantaged student population, with 48.48% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, compared to 37.05% at the Primary School. Despite the higher spending per student at the Intermediate School, the student-teacher ratio is lower, indicating smaller class sizes. This may be a strategy to provide more individualized attention to students. Overall, the data suggests the Palmyra-Macedon Central School District faces challenges in delivering high-quality education to its elementary school students, an area that requires further investigation and targeted interventions.
