Summary:
The 14522 zip code is home to a single middle school, Palmyra-Macedon Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8 within the Palmyra-Macedon Central School District. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, its academic performance on state assessments lags behind the state average, particularly in English Language Arts and Math.
Palmyra-Macedon Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York middle schools, with proficiency rates on state assessments ranging from 36-45% in English Language Arts and 14-40% in Math, compared to state averages of 50-52% and 46-56%, respectively. However, the school performs better on Regents exams, with 65-95% proficiency rates in Living Environment and Algebra I, exceeding the state averages.
The school serves a student population with a relatively high percentage (44.35%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance. Despite the district's investment in resources and small class sizes, the school's underperformance on state assessments suggests a need for further investigation into curriculum, instructional practices, and support for economically disadvantaged students to identify opportunities for improvement.
