Summary

Perry Lecompton High serves 268 students in grades 9–12 in Perry, Kansas. Its academic results are mixed, and chronic absenteeism is a concern: 28% of students were chronically absent in 2025–26, compared with 18% statewide. The key academic finding is that the school scores above the nearby-school average in all three tested subjects, yet remains below the state in English language arts and science.

Math is the school’s strongest subject against state and district benchmarks, while ELA and science are the clearest gaps. In 2025–26, proficiency was 39% in math, 39% in ELA and 32% in science. Nearby-school averages were 31% in math, 35% in ELA and 27% in science. Math was 2 percentage points below the state and 1 point above the district; ELA was 7 points below the state and 9 below the district. Science was 6 points below the state and 7 below the district. The school’s 28% chronic absenteeism rate was also above the district’s 21%.

Scores have risen since 2022–23, especially in math, but only math has narrowed its gap with the state: math proficiency increased 13 points to 39%, while ELA rose 6 points to 39% and its state gap widened to 7 points. Science remained essentially flat at 32%, and its state gap widened to 6 points. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 56th percentile with 3 stars, up from the 32nd percentile and 2 stars the prior year, though below its earlier 87th-percentile standing. Its 14:1 student-teacher ratio is close to the nearby-school median of 14.3:1; its free/reduced-lunch rate is the group’s lowest, at about 30% versus a nearby average of 49%. One notable SchoolDigger subgroup result is Special Education Students: the group’s ranking fell from the 77th percentile in 2018–19 to the 11th percentile in 2022–23, when the school overall ranked at the 73rd percentile. Graduation provides a more positive measure: the 2023–24 rate was 92%, compared with 90% statewide.
