Summary:
The 14502 zip code contains only one school, Palmyra-Macedon Intermediate School, which serves grades 3-5 and is part of the Palmyra-Macedon Central School District. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.1 to 1 and high spending per student of $28,988, its academic performance on state assessments is generally below the state averages, particularly in 5th grade. The school's statewide ranking among New York elementary schools has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 1,678 out of 2,445 schools in 2023-2024 to 2,121 out of 2,439 schools in 2022-2023.
Palmyra-Macedon Intermediate School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math on the New York State Assessments are lower than the state averages, with some exceptions in 3rd and 4th grades. However, the school's 5th-grade proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science are significantly lower than the state averages. This suggests that the school may be struggling to meet the academic standards set by the state, particularly in the upper grade levels.
Additionally, the school serves a population with a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (47.01%), which may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance. The school's high spending per student does not appear to be translating into higher academic achievement based on the test scores, indicating that there may be other factors influencing the school's performance.
