Summary

Perryville High School is a small, rural school in Perryville, Arkansas, serving 427 students in grades 7-12 as part of the Perryville School District, which has shown a strong upward trend in state rankings over the past decade.

One of the school’s biggest strengths is its exceptional mathematics program. Overall math proficiency (46.9%) and Algebra proficiency (46.2%) both exceed the state average and outperform all nearby schools, including the higher-ranked Bigelow High School (45.3% math, 49% Algebra). This is complemented by an extremely low student-teacher ratio of 7.3:1, which is far lower than the much larger Conway High School (17.2:1) and allows for more personalized instruction. The school also maintains a strong graduation rate of 92.5%, above the state average of 90.1% and higher than Morrilton Senior High School (88.4%).

However, the school presents a clear contrast between math and science performance. While math is a standout, science proficiency (42%) and Biology proficiency (37.7%) lag behind the state average (44% and 42.7%, respectively). This is especially notable when compared to Bigelow High School, which has a similar student-teacher ratio (7.4:1) and economic disadvantage rate (67.2% vs. 57.6%) but achieves a Biology proficiency of 57.4%—20 points higher. Additionally, 10th-grade students at Perryville show a significant drop in Reading proficiency (27.9%) compared to 9th graders (55.4%), suggesting a potential area for focus. Despite these challenges, the school’s higher spending per student ($13,202) compared to Conway ($10,803) and its sustained improvement from a low point in 2016 highlight a commitment to providing resources and support for its students.
