Perry Township Schools

Summary:

The Perry Township Schools district in Indiana serves over 17,000 students across 11 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The schools in this diverse district vary in size, student demographics, academic performance, and other key metrics.

Among the standout schools in the district, Perry Meridian High School ranks 190 out of 431 Indiana high schools and has the highest 4-year graduation rate at 93.1%. At the middle school level, Perry Meridian Middle School is the highest ranked in the district, ranking 103 out of 485 Indiana middle schools, with consistently strong ILEARN test scores. On the elementary level, Douglas MacArthur Elementary stands out with the highest ILEARN proficiency rates and the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in the district, while Rosa Parks Elementary is also a high-performing school with a 4-star rating.

The data reveals significant performance gaps between the highest and lowest-performing schools, both within the district and compared to state averages. There appears to be a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic outcomes, with higher-poverty schools generally underperforming their more affluent counterparts. Addressing chronic absenteeism, which is a concern at several schools, and ensuring equitable access and support for all students should be key priorities for the Perry Township Schools district.
