Palmyra High School is a four-year comprehensive public high school that serves students in ninth through twelfth grades from Palmyra in Burlington County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, operating as the lone secondary school of the Palmyra Public Schools. High school classes began shortly after the completion of the Spring Garden Street School in 1895; this building is on the National Register of Historic Places.[3] With increased enrollment, the school was moved to a former girls school, Berkeley Hall, in 1907, and to its own building in 1909. A large addition was completed in 1922. The 1909 structure was destroyed by fire in 1957, and after a vote that narrowly defeated establishing a regional high school, additions were made to the building in 1958 and 1961.
As of the 2023–24 school year, the school had an enrollment of 407 students and 33.8 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.0:1. There were 113 students (27.8% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 23 (5.7% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[1]
Students from Beverly and Riverton attend the district's high school as part of sending/receiving relationships.[4] In past years, students from Cinnaminson Township, Delanco Township, Delran Township, Riverside Township, and the Delair portion of Pennsauken Township had also attended Palmyra High School.[3]
