Summary:
The Perry Central Com Schools Corp district in Indiana operates two schools: Perry Central Elementary School and Perry Central Junior-Senior High School. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.
Perry Central Elementary School consistently ranks in the top 25% of Indiana elementary schools, with strong math proficiency and relatively low chronic absenteeism. In contrast, Perry Central Junior-Senior High School has solid high school performance, ranking in the top 25% of Indiana high schools, and an impressive 88.4% four-year graduation rate.
While both schools have seen a decline in ILEARN proficiency rates from 2023-2024 to 2024-2025, mirroring a statewide trend, the district's resource allocation differs, with higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio at the high school level. This suggests an opportunity for the district to evaluate the equity of resource distribution across the elementary and secondary schools to ensure all students receive the support they need to succeed.
