Summary:

The city of Perry, Maine is home to two elementary schools: Sipayik Elementary School and Perry Elementary School. These schools serve students from prekindergarten through 5th grade and are part of the Sipayik Elementary School and Perry Public Schools districts, respectively.

Sipayik Elementary School stands out for its extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 97.09%, indicating a high-need student population. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.3, which could be beneficial for providing more individualized attention. However, the available data does not include information about the school's academic performance or statewide ranking, making it difficult to assess its overall effectiveness.

Perry Elementary School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, dropping from 88th out of 290 schools in 2022-2023 to 152nd out of 289 schools in 2024-2025. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, is generally above the district and state averages, but there is room for improvement, especially in Science. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.1 and a 50% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
