Summary:
The Perryville School District is home to one high school, Perryville High School, which serves grades 7 through 12 and has a total enrollment of 427 students. This school presents a mixed picture of strengths and challenges, making it a school of contrasts for parents to consider.
Perryville High School shows a notable strength in mathematics, particularly in Algebra, where 46.2% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 36.9%. However, this is sharply contrasted by a significant weakness in Geometry, where only 15.5% of students are proficient versus the state's 26.4%. The school also excels with its 9th-grade cohort, where reading proficiency reaches 55.4%, far above the state average of 40.6%. Conversely, 10th graders struggle, with only 21.3% proficient in English Language Arts. The school maintains a strong graduation rate of 92.5%, above the state average of 90.1%, and benefits from a low student-teacher ratio of 7.3:1, suggesting individualized attention is possible.
Despite these resources, overall test scores in English Language Arts, Reading, and Science fall below state averages. The school's state ranking has improved over three years, currently sitting at the 48th percentile. The data suggests that while the school effectively supports students to graduation and excels in specific areas like Algebra and 9th-grade instruction, there are clear opportunities for targeted improvement, particularly in Geometry and for 10th-grade students. Parents should note this school's ability to foster success in certain subjects and grade levels while being aware of the areas where students may need additional support.
