Elementary Schools in Perry Public Schools

Summary:

Perry Public Schools has only one elementary school, Perry Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 72 students. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranking 88th out of 290 schools in 2022-2023 but dropping to 180th out of 288 schools in 2023-2024.

Academically, Perry Elementary School has shown mixed results. In 2024-2025, the school outperformed the Perry Public Schools district and the state of Maine in English Language Arts proficiency, but fell behind in Mathematics and Science. The previous year, 2023-2024, saw the opposite, with the school performing better in Mathematics but lagging in English Language Arts. Additionally, the school has a high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, with 50% of students qualifying in 2023-2024, and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in the same year.

Overall, Perry Elementary School's performance appears to be inconsistent, with strengths in certain subject areas but challenges in others. The school's high poverty rate and chronic absenteeism may be contributing factors to its fluctuating rankings and uneven academic results. Further investigation into the school's strategies, resources, and community engagement could provide valuable insights to support improvement efforts and better serve the needs of its students.
