Summary:

The city of Palmyra, Missouri is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Palmyra Elementary, Palmyra High, and Palmyra Middle. These schools are part of the Palmyra R-I school district and provide educational opportunities for students in the local community.

Among the three schools, Palmyra Elementary stands out as a top performer, ranking in the top 26% of Missouri elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the state average in both Math and English Language Arts proficiency for 3rd and 4th grades, and maintains a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 11.3%. Similarly, Palmyra High is also a high-performing school, ranking in the top 34% of Missouri high schools and maintaining a strong 96.3% 4-year graduation rate, which exceeds the state average.

In contrast, Palmyra Middle lags behind the state averages in Math and English Language Arts proficiency, particularly in 8th grade. This suggests that the district may need to focus on addressing any underlying issues or challenges at the middle school level to ensure consistent academic performance across all grade levels. Overall, the Palmyra school district appears to have a stable and well-resourced educational system, with equitable resources and support provided to students regardless of their economic background.
