Palmyra R-I

The Palmyra R-I school district in Missouri operates three schools: Palmyra Elementary, Palmyra High, and Palmyra Middle. The district is ranked 83 out of 367 districts in Missouri and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating strong overall performance.

Palmyra Elementary and Palmyra High stand out as the stronger performers in the district. Palmyra Elementary is ranked 236 out of 900 Missouri elementary schools and has a 4-star rating, outperforming the state average in both Math and English Language Arts proficiency. Palmyra High is ranked 94 out of 378 Missouri high schools, maintains a high 4-year graduation rate, and outperforms the state average in Biology I proficiency. In contrast, Palmyra Middle struggles in some areas, with lower proficiency rates compared to the state average in Math and English Language Arts.

While the district as a whole performs well, there are some areas for improvement. All three schools have a slightly higher chronic absenteeism rate than the desired target of 10% or less. Additionally, the variation in per-student spending across the schools suggests the need to ensure equitable resource allocation and support for all students, regardless of the school they attend.
