Summary:
Perry, Illinois, has one listed school, Griggsville-Perry Middle School, serving grades 5–8 with 92 students. In 2025–2026, the school’s all-grades ELA proficiency was 71%, compared with 56% statewide and 65% in Griggsville-Perry CUSD 4; mathematics was 41%, versus 40% statewide and 45% in the district. The clearest finding is that ELA is the school’s strongest broad-based result: it was 15 points above the state, and every reported grade’s ELA result exceeded its state comparison.
Because this is the only school listed, there is no separate local school at the top or bottom for parents to compare. The school’s most notable grade-level results were grade 6 ELA at 78%, 20 points above the state, and grade 5 science at 71%, 24 points above the state. Grade 7 mathematics was also a bright spot at 55%, 15 points above the state, even though all-grades mathematics was only 1 point above the state and 4 points below the district. Grade 8 science was 55%, 3 points above its state comparison.
Recent results improved in ELA and science, but not across every subject: ELA rose 15 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while mathematics was essentially flat after rounding; science rose 29 points in grade 5 and 15 points in grade 8. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile increased from 62 in 2023–2024 to 74 in 2025–2026, and its rating went from 3 stars to 4. Chronic absenteeism was 19%, below the district’s 21% and the state’s 24%; the student–teacher ratio was 8.3 in 2024–2025, and 40% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. With just one school listed, these figures cannot show differences among local schools.
