Summary:
The 14530 zip code in 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 elementary school struggles academically, the high school stands out as a top-performing institution in the state.
Perry Junior-Senior High School consistently ranks among the best high schools in New York, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and an impressive 91.5% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average. Students at the high school excel on Regents exams, with proficiency rates often 10-20 percentage points above the state average. In contrast, Perry Elementary School lags behind, with proficiency rates on state assessments well below the state average in both English Language Arts and Math.
Both schools serve a sizable population of economically disadvantaged students, with nearly half of the student body qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the higher spending per student at the elementary school, the high school appears to be more efficient in its use of resources, as evidenced by its higher academic performance and better student outcomes. The data highlights an opportunity for the two schools to collaborate and share best practices, particularly in areas where the high school is outperforming the elementary school, to improve the overall educational outcomes for students in the 14530 zip code.
