Perry Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 547 students in grades PK-6 in Perry, Oklahoma. The school is part of the Perry School District, which is ranked 70 out of 342 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Perry Elementary consistently outperforms the state average on standardized tests, with 63-72% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 46-47% and 34-40%, respectively. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.0 to 14.4 over the past few years, lower than nearby Stillwater schools and the high-poverty Billings Elementary. However, the highly-ranked Sangre Ridge Elementary in Stillwater significantly outperforms Perry on both English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments.

While Perry Elementary has seen a steady increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, rising from 44.66% in 2021-2022 to 59.78% in 2023-2024, the school has maintained strong academic performance. In contrast, the high-poverty Billings Elementary struggles academically despite higher per-student spending. Perry Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated considerably over the years, from as high as 58th to as low as 298th, suggesting the school's performance may be somewhat volatile or sensitive to changes in the student population or other factors.

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.
