Summary:
ZIP code 53156 in Palmyra, Wisconsin has just one elementary school: Palmyra Eagle Montessori School, located at 701 Maple St. It serves grades PK through 6 and enrolls 26 students, making it a micro-school rather than a typical neighborhood elementary. It belongs to the Palmyra-Eagle Area School District. Because this is the only elementary school in the ZIP code, there are no other local schools to compare it against; the useful comparisons are to its own district and to the state.
The school's standout number is attendance. Its chronic absenteeism rate for 2024–2025 is 6.7%, compared with 12.5% for the district and 17.3% for the state — meaning fewer students are missing enough school to be considered chronically absent than is typical nearby or statewide. Other 2024–2025 figures: a student-teacher ratio of 7.8, per-student spending of $25,818, and a free/reduced lunch rate of 26.92%, which works out to roughly 7 of its 26 students. The district itself is rated 356th of 432 Wisconsin districts, at the 18th percentile with 1 star, but that is a district-wide rating and should not be read as a direct judgment of this particular school.
Two cautions matter for parents. First, the school is very small, so percentages are volatile — one student represents about 3.8% of enrollment, and a single change can shift any rate noticeably year to year. Second, no test score or academic proficiency data is included in this dataset, so this summary cannot tell you how well students are performing academically. Taken together, the picture is a tiny PK–6 Montessori program with strong attendance relative to district and state, a low student-teacher ratio, and high per-student spending, but with unanswered questions about academic outcomes.
