Palmyra-Macedon Senior High School consistently outperforms the state average on Regents exams, with 91.3% proficiency in Regents/Common Core Algebra II compared to the state average of 74.88%, and 85.94% proficiency in Regents/Common Core English Language Arts compared to the state average of 75.29%. The school also maintains a strong 4-year graduation rate of 93.4%, higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby high schools, such as Fairport Senior High School, which is ranked higher than Palmyra-Macedon, Palmyra-Macedon Senior High School generally performs better on Regents exams and has higher graduation rates. This may be attributed to the school's higher spending per student, $25,731 in 2023-2024, and lower student-teacher ratio, which are factors that could contribute to its academic success.
