This is literally the worst school ever, the people there are horrible and all have backwards mindsets, not being supportive at all, if your kid is at all diverse (queer, POC, etc.) this is one of the worst places you could go, as a queer kid myself I have struggled plenty with this school and had to move away because of how bad it got, if you at all care about your childs wellbeing, take them anywhere else.

Overwhelming positive experience not only for my son, but also for me, a 1986 graduate of the school. I have never seen support like this from teachers and staff in ANY school setting the way I have seen it here in regards to my son. I have nothing bad to say.

Our family has had very positive experiences with the PEASD. But its like anything else, you get out of the experience what you put in. Expecting to be involved in many levels and activities, bringing a positive attitude and willingness to participate, yields positive rewarding learning experiences.

Terrible. Created a bunch of internal and mental/emotional problems that are still struggling to be dealt with, and the education quality isn’t even that great.

Horrible experience. Very "toxic" administration. Parents bully the weak administration to control what goes on in the high school. It is way past time for new and effective leadership.

A great local, community school to be a part of. There are plenty of electives and extra-curricular opportunities for students to be involved in. Our family appreciates the ability to be a part of a small school district.

My oldest son is currently attending school at Palmyra-Eagle High School and has had a fantastic experience thus far. There are a variety of courses to choose from including 8 AP classes. The school offers Spanish or French electives beginning in middle school. My child has been able to participate in multiple sports, and being that it is a small school, there are no tryouts, which makes it very inclusive. Recently, the school adopted a new bullying prevention program which has been well received by parents and students. Students meet regularly with the school counselor to develop post-secondary goals. This early planning results in graduates being accepted into many different colleges and universities, including Ivy League schools. The graduates also receive huge amounts of scholarships from local businesses, with nearly 50% of the students being awarded at least one. Palmyra-Eagle also has a very caring and supportive staff who truly know and care about the students and families. I would encourage anyone to check this school out!

Small family atmosphere with terrific teachers and programs are what this school has to offer.

As with all school districts there will be some that love it and some that will hate everything about it. I believe it all depends on the student and their family and how they interact with the district. Sometimes the parents are worse than their children for spreading information. Sure, there are things I would change within the district and there are things I would not change. I for one, dispise school choice and everything that goes with it. You want out ... then move! Otherwise you should be thinking "what can I do to make it better for my child". And to those who diss on any school, all I have to say is that EVERYTHING starts with the HOME environment!Also as in every school district, there is politics involved which makes everything more complicated. My point is, the schools are what you and your family make of them. And to me, Palmyra-Eagle has been good, but I got involved early and have not regretted it.

I school choiced my child out of Eagle Elementary to a neighboring School District, when I started to question the education they were receiving at Eagle. Much to my surprise I learned that my child was over 2 years behind in reading and almost a year and half behind in math. Eagle claimed they were fine and at grade level. After learning this, I school choiced our other child out the next year. I would NEVER recommend this district. Palmrya/Eagle School District makes claims that they are doing great and children are thriving, but when my story is the norm of parents choicing out I question their numbers.

I am a student here, sophomore. Recently, we can't keep teachers, and the teachers we do keep have no idea what they're doing, with the exception of a few. The students are rude to others, not accepting (generally) and all think they are top of the social class because they're 'country' and drive big trucks. I guess it's worse for me since I've been here since first grade, but I don't recomend Palmyra-Eagle. We are statistically one of the lowest paying schools in Wisconsin, which is the cause of not so great teachers, who disrespect the students and get mad when they get disrespect back. It's all backwards, in my opinion.

When I went to school, my school was great, all of my teachers would help us if we had problems with our work. By the way they helped me was that they made me think about how to go about and find the answer that I needed for the question I was having trouble with. That's how I learned to get things done.
