Summary

Perry Hall Middle is a large public school in Baltimore, MD, serving 1,582 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Baltimore County Public Schools district, and it consistently earns a 4-star rating for its strong academic performance.

This school stands out for its exceptional English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with 64.3% of students meeting standards—far above the district average of 46.1% and significantly higher than nearby schools like Deep Creek Middle (30.4%) and Stemmers Run Middle (25.3%). Perry Hall also excels in advanced math, with 40.4% of students proficient in Algebra I, nearly double the state average. Another key strength is its low chronic absenteeism rate of 19.1%, which is dramatically lower than peers like Loch Raven Technical Academy (41.7%) and Deep Creek Middle (40.4%), suggesting a highly engaged student body. However, a notable challenge is a sharp decline in general math proficiency as students advance, dropping from 29.4% in 6th grade to just 4.6% in 8th grade, indicating that while the school excels at advanced math placement, the core math curriculum for most students may need attention.

Perry Hall is also remarkably efficient, spending just $16,070 per student—the lowest among comparable schools—while achieving superior results compared to higher-spending peers like Pine Grove Middle ($18,132). While it outperforms most nearby schools, it trails the exceptional Dumbarton Middle in academic metrics, though it has a lower chronic absenteeism rate. The school performs well for Hispanic students (87th percentile) but shows significant gaps for Special Education students (26th percentile), highlighting areas for growth in equitable support.

What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, November 14, 2016

I visited this PHMS today. To say I am disappointed, is truly an understatement. The school is so overcrowded, the children run wild, some teachers have NO control over the classroom, etc. I left the school drained. We purchased a home in the area specifically because of schools. I should have saved the money spent on the mortgage and paid tuition at a private school. The students are rude, filthy mouths, aggressive, and mature beyond their years with the opposite sex. Unfortunately, the mild mannered and well-behaved children are fed to the wolves and ignored. I cannot express how disappointed I am with PHMS. The schools has several trailers to accommodate the increasing number of students. Some children eat lunch at 10:30am. Before you register your child, make an unannounced visit...you wil be shocked. Don't be fooled by the luxury cars and $500k plus homes in the Perry Hall/White Marsh area. That doesn't equate to a quality education. I am upset that I have subjected my child to such an environment...in the pursuit of higher learning. Close Quote
