West Perry School District

The West Perry School District in Pennsylvania consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

Among the standout schools in the district, Blain Elementary School consistently demonstrates strong academic performance, with the highest proficiency rates in math (53.1%) and English language arts (56.2%) across the district. West Perry Senior High School has also seen steady improvement, moving up in the statewide rankings and exceeding the state average in Keystone Exam proficiency, particularly in literature (82.5% vs. 63.2% statewide).

However, the data also reveals disparities within the district, such as significant differences in per-student spending between the high school ($44,161) and the elementary schools ($9,756-$15,177), as well as higher free/reduced lunch rates at the elementary schools compared to the secondary schools, which may indicate potential opportunity gaps. Overall, the West Perry School District shows both strengths and areas for improvement, with standout performance at Blain Elementary and the high school's academic progress, balanced against resource inequities and potential achievement gaps that warrant further investigation and targeted interventions.
