Summary:
Palmyra-Macedon Central School District in New York is home to a single high school, Palmyra-Macedon Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has a predominantly white student population and generally strong academic performance, with some areas for improvement.
Palmyra-Macedon Senior High School excels in mathematics, with high proficiency rates on Regents/Algebra II and Regents/Algebra I exams. The school also performs well on Regents/U.S. History and Government assessments. However, the school struggles with science-related Regents exams, particularly in Regents/Earth Science and Regents/Living Environment, where proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state average. This suggests a need to review the school's science curriculum and instructional practices to improve student outcomes in these subject areas.
The school has a lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to the state average, which may contribute to its academic performance. However, the high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.8% suggests a need to address factors that are impacting student attendance and engagement. Additionally, the school's predominantly white student population raises questions about the district's efforts to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion, and whether all students have equal access to educational opportunities.
