Summary

Perry Hall High is a large, comprehensive high school in Baltimore, MD, serving over 2,000 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Baltimore County Public Schools district, where about 46% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Perry Hall presents a mixed picture for parents. Its strongest asset is English Language Arts (ELA), where 50.8% of students are proficient—nearly matching the state average and significantly higher than nearby schools like Overlea High (35.7%) and Parkville High (47.2%). However, math proficiency is a critical weakness, with only 6.5% of students meeting standards—far below the district average of 21.9% and the state average of 27.1%. This creates a staggering 44.3 percentage point gap between ELA and math performance. On a positive note, the school's graduation rate of 88.6% is higher than the district average (84.3%) and tops all other nearby comprehensive high schools, including Kenwood High (71.5%) and Parkville (71.0%).

Chronic absenteeism is a significant challenge, with 36.2% of students chronically absent—much higher than the district average of 25.6%. This issue, combined with a decade-long decline from a top-25% state ranking to its current 2-star rating, suggests systemic challenges. Interestingly, the school spends $16,693 per student, less than some lower-performing peers like Loch Raven High ($19,884), indicating that resource allocation, not just funding, is key. For context, the nearby magnet school Eastern Technical High School achieves 99.6% ELA and 53.7% math proficiency with a 9.2% chronic absenteeism rate, highlighting how selective admissions can produce vastly different outcomes. Perry Hall's success in ELA provides a foundation, but targeted intervention in math and absenteeism is critical for its future.
