Summary:
ZIP code 62362 has one listed school, Griggsville-Perry Middle School, serving grades 5–8 with 92 students, so parents have no local school-to-school comparison. Its clearest strength is English language arts: in 2025–2026, 71% of students were proficient, compared with 56% statewide, a 15-point advantage.
There is no local top or bottom school to compare, but the school’s results vary by subject and grade. ELA was above the state in every grade with a reported result: the strongest gaps were in 6th grade, at 78% versus 59% (20 points higher), and 8th grade, at 80% versus 63% (17 points higher). Fifth-grade science also stood out at 71% versus 48% statewide, a 24-point advantage. By comparison, all-grades math was only 1 point above the state (41% versus 40%), although reported 7th-grade math was 15 points higher (55% versus 40%). Fifth-, sixth-, and eighth-grade math results are state-suppressed, so those grade comparisons are unavailable.
Results over time show that the recent gains are concentrated in ELA and science. ELA rose from 56% in 2024–2025 to 71% in 2025–2026, while math was essentially unchanged at 41% in both years after rounding. Fifth-grade science climbed from 42% to 71%, and 8th-grade science rose from 40% to 55%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking also improved, moving from 515th of 1,363 schools (62nd percentile) in 2023–2024 to 294th of 1,126 (74th percentile) in 2025–2026. Context measures show a student-teacher ratio of 8.3 in 2024–2025 and that 40% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026 was 19%, below the state’s 24% by 5 points.
