Perry Junior High School

Summary:

Perry Junior High School is a public middle school in Perry, Oklahoma, serving 160 students in grades 7-8. 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.

Perry Junior High School has shown a mixed academic performance compared to the state average. While the school outperformed the state in several subjects, including 8th grade English Language Arts and 7th grade Mathematics, its performance in 8th grade Mathematics and 7th grade English Language Arts was on par with the state. The school has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 61.25% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to its academic performance. However, the school has a low student-teacher ratio of 12.2 students per teacher and spends $9,786 per student, which is higher than the nearby Stillwater Middle School and Morrison Middle School.

Over the years, Perry Junior High School's performance has fluctuated, with a significant dip in the 2020-2021 school year, but it has since improved, ranking 48 out of 189 Oklahoma middle schools and receiving a 4-star rating in the 2023-2024 school year. When compared to the nearby schools, Perry Junior High School performs similarly or better in most academic areas, particularly in Mathematics and Science, but Stillwater Middle School outperforms it in English Language Arts. The school's higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio may be contributing factors to its relatively better performance, but further analysis would be needed to fully understand the drivers of the school's success and areas for improvement.

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.
