Summary:
The Perry Community School District in Iowa has a single elementary school, Perry Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of Hispanic and low-income students. While the school's academic performance is mixed, with some grade levels exceeding the state average and others falling behind, the school's ranking and rating within the state have fluctuated over the past few years.
Academically, Perry Elementary has seen proficiency rates on the ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) ranging from 54.4% to 87.6% in English Language Arts, 71.4% to 85.6% in Mathematics, and 70.5% in Science. Compared to the state-level proficiency rates, the school's performance is uneven, with some grades exceeding the state average and others falling below. The school's ranking within the state has also fluctuated, ranging from 200 to 409 out of 565 Iowa elementary schools, and its SchoolDigger rating has varied from 1 to 3 out of 5 stars.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($14,186) and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.7, the data suggests the need for a closer examination of instructional practices and targeted interventions to address the variability in academic performance across grade levels and subject areas. Understanding the factors contributing to the school's ranking and rating fluctuations could also provide valuable insights for school improvement efforts and ensure that all students at Perry Elementary receive a high-quality education.
