Summary:

The 66073 zip code is home to a single middle school, Perry-Lecompton Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. As part of the Perry Public Schools district, the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from a 3-star rating in 2024-2025 to a 1-star rating in 2022-2023.

Academically, Perry-Lecompton Middle School struggles to meet state averages, with proficiency rates below the Kansas average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% in 2024-2025. Additionally, a relatively high percentage of students (42.36% in 2023-2024) are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a socioeconomically disadvantaged student population.

Despite these challenges, the school maintains a student-teacher ratio of 14.1 to 1 and per-student spending of $10,345 in 2018-2019. While the data suggests areas for improvement, further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the school's performance and support student success.
