Summary:
The 62362 zip code has only one school, Griggsville-Perry Middle School, a public middle school serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 88 students. The school is part of the Griggsville-Perry CUSD 4 district, which is ranked 515 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Griggsville-Perry Middle School has shown steady improvement in its academic performance, with the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA and Math increasing from 2023-2024 to 2024-2025. In 2024-2025, the school's ELA proficiency rate of 55.7% was slightly above the district and state averages, while its Math proficiency rate of 40.9% was also above the district and state averages. However, the school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% in 2024-2025 is a concern.
The school's high spending per student of $20,889 in 2023-2024 and low student-teacher ratio of 7.6 suggest that it has access to significant resources and a focus on providing personalized attention to students. This may be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance. However, the school also serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as 39.77% of its students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, which could be impacting student attendance and learning.
