Summary:

Perry Township Schools is a 21-school district in the Indianapolis area serving roughly 16,243 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, split across two high schools, four middle-level schools (two grades 7–8 schools and two grade 6 academies), 11 PK–5 elementaries, and four PK–1 kindergarten centers. As a whole, the district is rated 244th of 374 with 2 stars, but individual schools vary widely in performance.

The district's standout is Perry Meridian Middle School, the only 4-star campus, ranked 135 of 486 (72nd percentile), with all-grades ELA of 48.68% and Math of 37.58%. Among elementaries, William Henry Burkhart Elementary posts the top all-grades ELA (47.31%), Math (52.51%), Science (47.89%), and Social Studies (56.12%) scores, while Douglas MacArthur Elementary pairs solid results with the lowest chronic absenteeism in the district (7.6%). Perry Meridian High School is the stronger high school, with a 94.7% graduation rate, Biology of 51.02%, and SAT ERW of 47.2%, compared with Southport High School at 39.09% SAT ERW and 30.14% Biology.

Challenges cluster at Clinton Young Elementary School (0 stars, 9th percentile), Winchester Village Elementary (13th percentile), and Abraham Lincoln Elementary School (13th percentile). Chronic absenteeism is a high school problem: Southport High School reaches 38.5% and Perry Meridian High School 28.0%, against a district rate of 20.4% and state rate of 16.7%. SAT Math is a district-wide weakness, at 17.49% and 16.23% versus the state's 25.6%. Poverty and spending do not fully explain results: Burkhart has 76.84% free/reduced lunch and the highest spending ($13,830) with top scores, while Southport Elementary School has the highest FRL (82.0%) yet strong Math (45.56%) and Science (44.05%).
