Absolutely awful school. Not educating students, teachers mostly share their political opinions and conspiracy theory beliefs with the students. There are no social or support services available either. No follow through on anything that gets discussed. No one to assist parents. Awful school Close Quote

Thursday, August 4, 2011

Perry High is a relatively new school, and the administration and staff are very family oriented and helpful, as well as friendly and supportive towards students. This year's freshman class (Class of 2015) is the largest with 700 students. Its student population is small compared with the other, older high schools in the district. Its combination of new facilities and small class size make it feel dynamic and welcoming. Close Quote
