Summary

Perry Middle School in Perry, GA, serves 1,164 students in grades 6-8 within the Houston County district, and it has earned a 4-star rating while ranking in the 83rd percentile statewide—a notable climb from the 57th percentile a decade ago.

If your child has a knack for math, this school is a standout. An extraordinary 99% of students taking Algebra I scored proficient or above, compared to just 54.6% district-wide and 48.1% statewide—a streak of near-perfect results over the past three years. Across all grade levels, math proficiency beats both district and state averages, with 6th graders hitting 63.7% proficiency (second-highest among nearby schools, trailing only Mossy Creek Middle School's 68.9%). The school also shines with specific student groups, ranking in the 97th percentile statewide for Hispanic student achievement and the 93rd percentile for Special Education students—both earning 5-star ratings. Nearly 99% of 8th graders taking High School Physical Science scored proficient, far exceeding the state average of 60.9%, showing strong preparation for advanced coursework.

Perry Middle achieves these results while serving a student body where 72.6% qualify for free/reduced lunch—a higher percentage than higher-ranked peers like Bonaire Middle School (40.3%) or Mossy Creek Middle School (44.1%)—yet it outperforms several nearby schools, including Huntington Middle School and Northside Middle School, by 38-42 percentage points in 6th grade math. The school also spends the least per student ($12,037) among nearby schools with available data, suggesting efficient resource use. Chronic absenteeism has dropped from 21.4% to 16.2% over three years, now below the state average. While 8th grade science (40.5%) exceeds district and state averages, it has plateaued and remains an area for potential growth. Overall, this is a school on a clear upward trajectory, delivering strong results across diverse student groups.
