Summary

Perryville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 499 students in grades K-6 in Perryville, Arkansas. The school is part of the Perryville School District, which is ranked 105 out of 250 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Perryville Elementary appears to be struggling, with test scores generally below the state average across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, and Math were all around 34-35%, compared to the state averages of 34-39%. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has dropped from 133 out of 480 schools in 2017-2018 to 257 out of 495 schools in 2024-2025, indicating a decline in performance relative to other Arkansas elementary schools. Compared to nearby schools in the Conway and Atkins school districts, Perryville Elementary generally underperforms on test scores, especially in math and science.

One potential factor contributing to the academic challenges at Perryville Elementary is the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61-64% over the past few years. This is significantly higher than the state average and suggests the school serves a more economically disadvantaged population. The school's lower student-teacher ratio of 14-15 students per teacher may be a strength, as it allows for more individualized attention, but this does not seem to be translating into higher academic achievement compared to other schools in the region, such as Woodrow Cummins Elementary in Conway, which had significantly higher proficiency rates in 2023-2024.
