Summary:
The 63775 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Perry County 32 district. While the schools share a common district, they exhibit varying levels of performance, with some standout schools and areas for improvement.
Perryville Senior High has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 146 out of 358 schools in 2020-2021 to 245 out of 352 schools in 2022-2023. In contrast, Perryville Elementary stands out with the highest percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in MAP/Mathematics at 48.5%, outperforming both the district and state averages. The elementary schools, Perryville Primary Center and Perryville Elementary, also have the lowest student-teacher ratios, which could contribute to more individualized attention for students.
Across the district, the schools serve a predominantly white student population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 39.21% to 60.4%, indicating a significant proportion of economically disadvantaged students. This equity concern may have implications for resource allocation and educational outcomes. While the schools generally perform below state averages in many subject areas, there are opportunities for improvement, particularly in mathematics and English language arts, which could be a focus for the district moving forward.
