Summary:
The 14522 zip code in New York is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Palmyra-Macedon Senior High School, Palmyra-Macedon Primary School, and Palmyra-Macedon Middle School. These schools, part of the Palmyra-Macedon Central School District, demonstrate a mix of academic strengths and areas for improvement.
Palmyra-Macedon Senior High School stands out as the highest-performing school in the area, with strong proficiency rates on Regents exams that exceed state averages in several subjects. The school also boasts a solid 4-year graduation rate of 88.9%, higher than the state average. In contrast, Palmyra-Macedon Middle School lags behind the state on ELA and Math proficiency, indicating a need for improvement in these core academic areas, despite its strong performance on the Regents Algebra I exam.
Across the schools, student demographics are relatively homogeneous, with a predominance of white students (over 90% in all schools). While spending per student and student-teacher ratios are consistent, the performance differences between the high school and middle school suggest that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be at play. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rate at Palmyra-Macedon Senior High School is an area of concern that the district may need to address to improve student learning and outcomes.
