Summary:
The 62340 zip code area is home to two schools - Griggsville-Perry Primary School and Griggsville-Perry High School, both part of the Griggsville-Perry CUSD 4 district. While the primary school demonstrates relatively strong academic performance, the high school has seen a significant decline in student achievement and engagement.
Griggsville-Perry Primary School stands out with its high performance on state assessments, with 39.6% of students proficient or better in ELA and 37.5% in Math, outpacing the district and state averages. The school also boasts a low student-teacher ratio of 8.2 and a chronic absenteeism rate of 16.1%, which is lower than the high school's 37.5%. In contrast, Griggsville-Perry High School has seen a concerning decline in academic performance, with only 4.3% of 11th graders proficient or better in both ELA and Math, and a relatively low 4-year graduation rate of 87.5%.
The data suggests that addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and improving student retention and engagement at the high school level may be key focus areas for the district. Additionally, ensuring equitable resource allocation between the primary and high school, given the higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students at the high school, could help to improve outcomes for all students in the 62340 zip code area.
