Academically, Perry Central has shown fluctuating performance on ILEARN and SAT assessments, with some grades and subjects performing better than others. While the school's proficiency rates in ILEARN English Language Arts (37.64%) and Math (39.89%) were lower than the district average, its performance on ILEARN Biology (67.65%) and SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing (43.68%) for 11th grade were higher.
