I have two children in Palmyra-Eagle School District and believe it is a hidden gem in SE WI! Both of my children have had an abundance of opportunities throughout their education - whether it be academics, extracurriculars, arts, band, FFA/agriculture, or athletics. (Very excited about the new greenhouse being built this year to expand the Agricultural and FFA programming!) What a nice luxury of having small class sizes, and teachers that know every student and can provide one on one support and academic challenges as students need it. CTE, Dual enrollment, Start College Now, and Youth Apprenticeship programs provide students with a great start to college and careers. Bonus is having an awesome local scholarship program & super supportive community - ensuring graduates get the support they need to continue their success after HS. Small size allows students an abundance of different experiences, teachers & coaches work together to allow students to participate in as many activities as they choose -whether it is dual sports, band, & more. Highly recommend this district!

This school absolutely ruined me. The classes between 2020 and 2025 had to sit through a dissolution process in which didn't happen, see all their friends leave to new schools, and know that what could have been a less stressful school year be wasted on nothing more than debt. The teachers here do not care for your children's safety, nor future abilities if you did not reside in the Palmyra town or were on the Varsity teams of any sports. The only things they had for better learning have had to stop because of the lack of student participation. This school did not do good under the dissolution and is not doing great now. Treat your kids better. Go to a school that actually cares about your children's safety and education.

Palmyra-Eagle School District is a wonderful rural school district with small class sizes, excellent opportunities to outdoor activities, including FFA, that surrounding districts don't offer, supportive staff and now new administration. I wouldn't send my children anywhere else!

Absolutely amazing small country district! While small, it is big on individual attention and allows many opportunities for students to participate in any and all activities they choose. Teachers and coaches offer incredible support while serving a diverse student body and making sure every child succeeds. Awesome FFA and Special Education programs!

I'm very happy with the education Palmyra Eagle gives to my child. Teachers are very hands on and helpful. They go out of their way to educate our kids. Smaller class size is awesome. Great group of kids and families.

Worst so called school district in tbe state. School administrators are a bunch of clowns just there to collect a paycheck. Zero improvements in this district for years.

This school has all that is needed to provide a great education for your student. The small class size provides great relationships between the student and teacher, as well as other students. It''s more of a family atmosphere and not getting lost in the crowd. All three of our children completed their entire schooling here and have gone on to complete college in four years and have a successful career and life. Students only get back what they, and their parents, put into it.

With better options in surrounding districts, I would not subject any child to this district. The district cannot compete with other districts that are significantly better, and with so many children school choicing out of the district... the District lacks the funds to do a complete overhaul that is needed. Yet they continue to say they are doing fine and improving.
