Summary:

The 68418 zip code is home to a single middle school, Palmyra Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While there are no other middle schools in this specific geographic area for direct comparison, the available data provides insights into the performance and characteristics of this institution.

Palmyra Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, from 137 out of 238 Nebraska middle schools in 2022-2023 to 95 out of 200 in 2023-2024. However, the school's performance on NSCAS assessments in English Language Arts and Science remains strong, with proficiency rates exceeding the state average. In mathematics, the school's proficiency rates are close to or slightly below the Nebraska average. The school's 19.46% free and reduced-price lunch rate suggests a relatively low-income student population, which can present additional challenges, but the school's academic performance indicates they are effectively supporting their students.

One area of concern for Palmyra Middle School is its high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3% for the 2024-2025 school year. Chronic absenteeism can have a significant impact on student learning and progress, and this is an issue the school may need to address. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $5,389 and high student-teacher ratio of 149:1 suggest limited resources, which is noteworthy given the school's academic performance.
