Summary:
The Perry Community School District in Iowa has only one middle school, Perry Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has a diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic and African American representation, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income community.
Academically, Perry Middle School faces some challenges, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science generally below the state average, particularly in the upper grades. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Iowa middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to its peers. Despite higher-than-average spending per student and a lower student-teacher ratio, the school's resources do not appear to be effectively utilized to support student learning and achievement.
The diverse student population and the school's resource allocation suggest that there may be opportunities to improve instructional practices and resource utilization to better support student learning. Further analysis of the school's challenges and the factors contributing to its underperformance could provide valuable insights for the Perry Community School District to address and improve the educational outcomes for its middle school students.
