Summary:
The Perryton Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two high schools: Perryton High School and Ludi Pena Martin Accelerated Education Center. While Perryton High School is the larger and higher-performing of the two, with a 3-star statewide ranking, Ludi Pena Martin Accelerated Education Center offers a more specialized, resource-intensive educational experience for a smaller student population.
Perryton High School boasts a 98.6% 4-year graduation rate and a low 0.2% dropout rate, outperforming the district and state averages on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams, particularly in English I/II Reading and U.S. History. However, its performance in Algebra I is significantly below the district and state levels. In contrast, Ludi Pena Martin Accelerated Education Center has a 96.2% 4-year graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, with a more even split between White and Hispanic students compared to Perryton High School's majority Hispanic population.
Despite Perryton High School's larger enrollment of 620 students, Ludi Pena Martin Accelerated Education Center spends significantly more per student ($34,819 vs. $10,982), likely due to the specialized nature of the accelerated education center and the need for more individualized support. This resource allocation may contribute to the smaller school's higher graduation rates, even though its academic performance on standardized tests is not as strong as Perryton High School's.
