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.

Throughout my time at Palmyra Area Highschool, I was surrounded with supporting and loving staff which made me more interested in learning. I came to class putting the amount of energy they provide for us into my work. The environment is positive and every individual pushes you to be better not only as a student, but a human.

Overall my experience at Palmyra Area High School has been a good one. I've made so many friends, I've been involved in sports and clubs, I love my teachers, and I love the class selection. Myself and many others have gotten to take classes at a college level along with classes that will help you with your major. There is so much offered at Palmyra.

Palmyra Area High School is a very good public high school. The teachers and students are respectful and cooperative. The teachers are willing to help and make time for students to ask questions and receive assistance if needed. One thing that is special about PHS is "Primetime" which is an extra period that occurs every Wednesday. Students can pick a class or activity to go to during primetime and get extra help, or sign out and have a free period if they are a junior or senior.

The teachers are nice and care for their students and there is an underdog mentality that helps to bring people tog...
Most teachers seem like they're doing the job just for the summers off and the pay check. Most don't give two cares about the students unless they excel in whatever class they teach. While they try to integrate sports and academics together, it's obvious that they care more about the sports program...
