Summary:
Palmyra, Wisconsin has three public schools serving about 287 students in total: one elementary (PK–6), one middle (6–8), and one high school (9–12), all in the Palmyra-Eagle Area School District, which is rated 356th of 432 in Wisconsin at the 18th percentile with 1 star. Palmyra-Eagle High and Palmyra-Eagle Middle share a campus on Burr Oak Street, while Palmyra Eagle Montessori School is at a separate address and is by far the smallest, with 26 students — roughly 9% of enrollment here.
The Montessori school stands out for attendance and resources: chronic absenteeism of 6.7%, the lowest of the three and well below the district’s 12.5% and the state’s 17.3%; per-pupil spending of $25,818, over $5,000 more than the other two schools; and a 7.8 student-teacher ratio tied with the middle school for lowest. However, no test scores or rank history are provided for it, so its academic performance cannot be judged from this data. The middle school has the clearest academic bright spot — 8th grade social studies was above state in both years (74.07% vs. 64.63% in 2025–26 and 70.37% vs. 62.51% in 2024–25) — but its rank fell from 4 stars and the 74th percentile in 2023–24 to 1 star and the 29th percentile in 2025–26, with 2025–26 ELA in grades 7 and 8 and math in all three grades below state.
The high school’s graduation rate is strong at 93.0%, above the state’s 92.0%, but its dropout rate of 1.8% is above both district and state, and chronic absenteeism is 16.4%. Its academics are mixed: 10th grade social studies was above state, ACT math was near state, while ACT ELA and ACT science were well below state. All three schools beat the state on absenteeism, spending per pupil is high, and ratios are low — though the Montessori school’s missing academic data and the very small enrollments mean year-to-year swings should be read with caution.
