Summary:
The city of Perry, Oklahoma is home to three public schools: Perry Elementary School, Perry High School, and Perry Junior High School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade within the Perry school district.
Among the three schools, Perry Elementary School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking in the top 100 elementary schools in Oklahoma and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students significantly outperform the state average on standardized tests, particularly in mathematics, where 4th and 5th-graders exceed the state average by over 30 percentage points. With a low student-teacher ratio of 13:1, the elementary school appears to provide a high-quality educational experience for its students.
In contrast, Perry High School has seen a decline in its performance, dropping from a 5-star rating to a 3-star rating in recent years. The high school's test scores are more mixed, with 11th-grade students performing below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. Additionally, the district's schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 49.21% at the high school to 61.25% at the junior high school. This suggests the district may need to implement targeted interventions to support the unique needs of its student population and address the performance gap at the secondary level.
