Perry Public Schools

The Perry Public Schools district in Kansas consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. While the district faces some challenges, Perry Lecompton High School stands out as a strong performer, ranking 88th out of 327 Kansas high schools and outperforming the state average in core subjects. However, Perry-Lecompton Middle School struggles academically, particularly in Mathematics, with proficiency rates well below the state average.

The district's student population is predominantly white, ranging from 82.7% to 86.38% across the schools. Minority representation is relatively low, with the highest being Hispanic students at around 8%. Economically, the schools have a significant portion of students from disadvantaged backgrounds, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 35.84% to 40.48%. This socioeconomic factor may be a contributing element to the academic performance disparities observed within the district.

Overall, the Perry Public Schools district presents a mixed picture. While Perry Lecompton High School has shown steady improvement and strong academic results, the middle school's performance, particularly in Mathematics, suggests a need for targeted interventions and support. Addressing the socioeconomic challenges faced by a significant portion of the student population could also be a key factor in improving overall student outcomes across the district.
