The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I was more than prepared for anything life threw at me. In college, more core classes covered topics I had in my AP courses. Outside of college, I had enough of a diverse experience that allowed me to relate to anything. Loyalty, compassion, community and so many other life lessons are taught at this amazing place. So glad my children have the opportunity to experience the same.

I would like to see a motor stable administrative team. Administrator's come in for a short time to get experience and them move on to bigger schools. We need someone who is invested in the school and the students long term.

The 3 out of 10 rating for Palmyra is unrepresentative of the Palmyra experience. Palmyra offers many things that create outstanding, college-ready students. I am a 2004 graduate of Palmyra High School who attended Susquehanna University on scholarship (leadership award for the many clubs and extrac...
