Summary:
Perry Public Schools has only one middle school, Perry-Lecompton Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance on state assessments has been mixed compared to the state averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics slightly below the Kansas averages in recent years. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% and a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 42.36%.
While there are no other middle schools in the Perry Public Schools district to directly compare against, Perry-Lecompton Middle's performance on state assessments indicates room for improvement. The school's proficiency rates in ELA and Math have declined over the past two years, dropping significantly below the state averages. This trend, coupled with the high chronic absenteeism rate, suggests that the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions and support to address these challenges and improve student outcomes.
Overall, the data indicates that Perry-Lecompton Middle has opportunities for growth in several key areas, including academic performance, attendance, and potentially resource allocation and support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. While the school faces some challenges, further investigation and targeted initiatives could help the school and district improve the educational experience and outcomes for their middle school students.
