Perry Public Schools

Summary:

Perry Public Schools is a small school district in Maine that serves the town of Perry and the surrounding area. The district has only one school, Perry Elementary School, which provides education for students in grades PK-8. With a total enrollment of 72 students, Perry Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.1 to 1, which suggests students may receive more individualized attention.

Perry Elementary School's academic performance has been somewhat inconsistent in recent years. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had a statewide ranking of 152 out of 289 Maine elementary schools and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, its performance has fluctuated, with a ranking of 180 out of 288 in 2023-2024 and 88 out of 290 in 2022-2023. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science have also varied, with higher rates in 2024-2025 compared to the previous year.

One notable challenge for Perry Elementary School is its high rate of chronic absenteeism, which reached 23.4% in the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, as 50% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. Addressing these factors may be crucial in helping the school maintain more consistent academic achievement and support student success.
