Perry Public Schools

The Perry Public Schools district in Kansas consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. The data reveals that Lecompton Elementary and Perry Lecompton High are the standout performers in the district, consistently outperforming the district and state averages in key test score metrics.

Lecompton Elementary is ranked 328 out of 653 Kansas elementary schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. It outperforms the district and state in Mathematics for all grades and 3rd grade, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.4.

The high school also has a low student-teacher ratio of 16.3.

In contrast, Perry-Lecompton Middle School generally underperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The district as a whole faces challenges, with all three schools having relatively high free and reduced lunch rates, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The spending per student also seems to be inversely related to academic performance, with the highest-performing schools having the highest spending per student.
