Summary

Perry High School in Perry, GA, serves approximately 1,615 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Houston County district, and it currently holds a 4-star rating with a statewide rank of 138 out of 455 Georgia high schools.

Perry High’s standout strength is its Biology End-of-Course performance: 84.5% of students scored proficient in 2025-2026, nearly double the state average (47.2%) and well above the district average (76.8%). This represents a remarkable one-year jump of 34 percentage points, placing Perry on par with top local schools like Veterans High School (84.3%) and Houston County High School (90.3%), while far exceeding Warner Robins High School (64.7%) and Northside High School (46.6%). The school also posts a strong 94.8% graduation rate—beating the state average (87.2%) and outperforming several nearby schools with lower economic need, including Peach County High School (91.7%) and Hawkinsville High School (91.3%). Chronic absenteeism has also improved to 16.8%, now below the state average of 17.7%.

However, the academic profile is uneven. U.S. History proficiency dropped sharply to 14.2% in 2025-2026, below the district (17.5%) and state (38.5%) averages—a persistent challenge shared by many nearby schools. Algebra I (55.5%) and American Literature (48.8%) both exceed state averages, but the school shows a notable gender gap: female students rank in the 79th percentile statewide, while male students rank in the 59th. Special Education services also lag, with that subgroup ranking in the 37th percentile. Despite rising economic need (66.4% free/reduced lunch, up from 48.3% two years ago), Perry maintains solid outcomes and spends slightly less per student ($11,889) than several peers, suggesting reasonable fiscal efficiency. Within Houston County, Perry sits in the middle tier—behind Veterans and Houston County High, but well ahead of Warner Robins and Northside.
