Perry-Lecompton Middle

Summary:

Perry-Lecompton Middle is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in Perry, Kansas, with 207 students. The school is part of the Perry Public Schools district, which is ranked 151 out of 266 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Perry-Lecompton Middle has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years, dropping from a high of 75th out of 343 Kansas middle schools in 2015-2016 to its current ranking of 248th out of 362 in 2023-2024. The school consistently underperforms the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency across all grade levels, with only 28.1% of all students proficient or better in ELA and 19.34% in Math, compared to state averages of 33.55% and 31.6%, respectively. The school struggles to serve its female, male, and white student populations, ranking in the bottom half of Kansas middle schools for these subgroups, and particularly underperforms for its special education and disabled student populations, ranking in the bottom 10% of Kansas middle schools in these categories.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Seaman Middle School and Lawrence Southwest Middle School, which both outperform Perry-Lecompton Middle in test scores and overall rankings, the school does outperform some nearby schools, such as Eisenhower Middle School and Chase Middle School, which are among the lowest-performing middle schools in the state. However, the school's steady decline in performance and the growing population of economically disadvantaged students, with 37.2% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggest that addressing these challenges will be crucial for the school to improve student outcomes and better serve the community.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
