Summary

Perry Central Junior-Senior High School in Leopold, Indiana, is a 7th- through 12th-grade school serving 541 students as part of Perry Central Com Schools Corp. The district ranks 55th of 374 Indiana districts (85th percentile, 4 stars), and the school itself ranks 71st of 415 high schools in 2025-26 (83rd percentile, 4 stars). Its long-term record has swung over the years — from the 93rd percentile and 5 stars in 2016-17 down to the 39th percentile and 2 stars in 2021-22 — before climbing back to 83rd percentile and 4 stars in 2025-26. That recent rebound, after a 2024-25 dip to the 64th percentile and 3 stars, is a good sign of positive momentum.

Attendance and graduation are this school's flagship strengths. The 2024-25 graduation rate was 97.2% (state 89.7%), and chronic absenteeism was 9.6% (state 16.7%). Among nearby schools, only Forest Park Junior-Senior High School has slightly better attendance and graduation, while Tell City Junior-Senior High School and Crawford County High School both have absenteeism near or above the state average. Science is another standout: Biology end-of-course proficiency was 57.69%, essentially tied with Forest Park and far above Tell City (39.6) and Crawford County High (43.24). SAT results also jumped in 2025-26, with ERW at 54.44 (above the state's 51.9) and math at 31.11 (above the state's 25.6).

Math remains the clearest opportunity area: all-grades math of 40.24 sits below the district's 51.47 and Forest Park's 45.19, and SAT math trails Forest Park's 35.9. Still, grade-level math results are above state averages and ahead of Tell City and Crawford County High. The school also stands out for how well it serves particular groups — low-income students rank in the 86th percentile statewide, special education students in the 77th, and female students in the 88th — which is notable given its moderate free/reduced lunch rate of 36.04%.
