The city of Perry, Illinois has one middle school, Griggsville-Perry Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school has seen its statewide ranking improve in recent years, moving from 639th out of 1,367 Illinois middle schools in 2022-2023 to 458th out of 1,368 in 2024-2025.

Griggsville-Perry Middle School has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (39.77% in 2023-2024), which suggests the school serves a disadvantaged population. Despite this, the school spends $20,889 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a student-teacher ratio of 7.6, which is lower than the state average, indicating a relatively small class size. These resource allocations suggest the district is investing in the school, but it will be important to examine how these resources are being utilized to improve student outcomes.
Overall, Griggsville-Perry Middle School is making progress in its academic performance, but there are still areas for improvement, particularly in Mathematics. The school's demographics and resource allocation suggest the district is committed to supporting the school, but continued efforts will be needed to ensure all students are achieving at high levels.
