Summary

Palmyra-Macedon Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Palmyra-Macedon Central School District, located in Palmyra, NY. With 363 students, the school has consistently underperformed compared to state averages on New York State Assessments for English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels.

Palmyra-Macedon Middle School's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates ranging from 36.45% to 44.44% in ELA and 14.63% to 40.57% in Math, well below the state averages. The school also struggles with student group performance, ranking in the bottom 15% of New York middle schools for several subgroups, including female students, male students, white students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students. Despite a significant increase in spending per student, from $11,056 in 2020-2021 to $27,579 in 2023-2024, the school's academic performance has not improved accordingly.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Wayne Central Middle School, Martha Brown Middle School, and Johanna Perrin Middle School, Palmyra-Macedon Middle School performs significantly worse, with much higher academic proficiency rates and statewide rankings. This suggests the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional strategies to better support student learning and address the unique needs of its student population.
