Summary:

The 53156 zip code is home to a single high school, Palmyra-Eagle High School, which is part of the Palmyra-Eagle Area School District. This school serves 178 students and has a 4-year graduation rate of 91%, which is above the state average. However, the school faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate and below-average test scores in certain subjects compared to the state.

Palmyra-Eagle High School's statewide ranking has declined from 241 out of 415 schools in 2022-2023 to 304 out of 431 schools in 2024-2025, indicating a drop in performance relative to other high schools in Wisconsin. While the school performs above the state average in 10th grade ACT Mathematics, it lags behind in 10th grade Forward Exam Social Studies and ACT Science. This suggests the school may have room for improvement in certain academic areas.

The school serves a population with a relatively high level of economic disadvantage, with 34.27% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This can impact academic outcomes, but the school's low student-teacher ratio of 9.6 suggests smaller class sizes, which can be beneficial for student learning and engagement. Overall, the data provides a mixed picture of Palmyra-Eagle High School's performance, and further analysis would be needed to fully understand the factors driving the school's results and identify areas for improvement.
