School Overview

Palmyra is a quiet, tight-knit borough in Lebanon County, sitting comfortably between Hershey and Lebanon along Route 422 — the kind of place where people tend to put down roots. Forge Road Elementary lands right around the middle of the pack statewide, with math being a genuine strength, making it a solid choice for families who want a dependable neighborhood school without the intensity of more competitive suburban districts. Families drawn to a slower pace of life, affordable housing, and easy access to Hershey's amenities often find Palmyra to be an underrated gem, and Forge Road fits naturally into that easygoing community feel.
