Summary

Palmyra-Eagle High is a small public high school serving grades 9–12 in Palmyra, Wisconsin, with 165 students, and it belongs to the Palmyra-Eagle Area School District, which ranks 356th of 432 Wisconsin districts (18th percentile, 1 star). The school itself ranked 324th of 533 high schools in 2025–2026 (39th percentile, 2 stars) — up from the 29th percentile in 2024–2025 and the 13th percentile in 2020–2021 — but it remains below the state median.

Academically, results are mixed. Tenth-grade social studies proficiency (51.28%) was above the state's 48.25% and above Fort Atkinson High (42.86%) and Whitewater High (44.44%). Math (41.94%) was near the state's 42.93%. English language arts (35.48% vs. 48.47%) and science (29.03% vs. 43.20%), however, were well below the state and below nearly every nearby school. Social studies has been a consistent strength across recent years, while science has trailed the state in both recent ACT years.

The school is unusually well resourced for its size: $20,712 per student and a 9:1 student-teacher ratio, both the most favorable among nearby high schools, with 32.73% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Even so, recent engagement and completion indicators lag. The 2024–2025 graduation rate of 93.0% is above the state's 92.0% but the lowest among nearby schools; dropout is 1.8% (highest nearby, above the state's 1.1%); and chronic absenteeism is 16.4% (highest nearby, though still below the state's 17.3%). Subgroup results are uneven — male students rank at the 51st percentile, while female students (29th) and low-SES students (23rd) rank lower — but because the school is small, these figures can swing sharply from one cohort to the next.
