Summary:
The city of Leopold, Indiana is home to two schools - Perry Central Elementary School and Perry Central Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Perry Central Com Schools Corp district. These schools demonstrate a mix of strong academic performance, high graduation rates, and efficient resource allocation.
Perry Central Elementary School stands out as a consistent high performer, with over 50% of students proficient or better in both ELA and Math on the ILEARN assessments. The school maintains a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks among the top 25% of Indiana elementary schools, an impressive feat given its relatively high percentage of students from low-income families. In contrast, Perry Central Junior-Senior High School excels in its 100% four-year graduation rate, outperforming the district and state averages in 11th grade SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing.
Both schools demonstrate efficient resource allocation, with relatively low student-teacher ratios and per-student spending that aligns with the district and state averages. However, the racial and ethnic homogeneity of the student populations, with over 95% of students identifying as White, may be an area for the district to consider addressing to provide a more diverse learning environment for its students.
