Summary:
The city of Perry, New York is home to two schools: Perry Elementary School and Perry Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Perry Central School District. While the high school is a standout performer, the elementary school has struggled in recent years, creating a stark contrast in academic achievement between the two schools.
Perry Junior-Senior High School consistently ranks among the top high schools in New York, with impressive proficiency rates on Regents exams and a strong 4-year graduation rate. In contrast, Perry Elementary School has lower proficiency rates on state assessments, with many subjects falling below the state average. The elementary school also has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant room for improvement.
The data suggests that while the Perry Central School District is home to a high-performing high school, there are equity concerns that need to be addressed at the elementary level. The relatively high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools indicate a student population facing economic challenges, and the lower performance at the elementary level may suggest the need for targeted interventions and a more efficient allocation of resources across the district.
