Summary:
The Perry Township Schools district in Indiana is home to two high schools: Southport High School and Perry Meridian High School. While both schools serve students in grades 9-12, the data reveals that Perry Township Schools as a district is ranked 197 out of 381 districts in Indiana and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
Based on the available data, Perry Meridian High School appears to be the standout performer in the district. The school has a higher statewide ranking, a better 4-year graduation rate, and students who outperform their peers at Southport High School on standardized tests. Additionally, Perry Meridian has a lower chronic absenteeism rate, suggesting a more engaged student body.
However, the data also reveals some potential areas of concern. Southport High School has a more diverse student population, with higher percentages of Black and Hispanic students, as well as a larger proportion of economically disadvantaged students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the observed performance gap between the two schools, and further investigation into addressing these disparities could be beneficial for the district as a whole.
