Summary:
The city of Perry, Michigan is home to a single middle school, Perry Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. Based on the available data, Perry Middle School has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, with its ranking and rating varying between the 2021-2022 and 2023-2024 school years.
In the 2023-2024 school year, Perry Middle School ranked 451 out of 897 Michigan middle schools and was rated 2 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars. However, the previous year the school had a higher ranking of 379 out of 883 and a 3 out of 5 star rating. The school's academic performance has also been mixed, with some subject areas and grade levels exceeding the state average proficiency rates, while others fall below. One area of concern is the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which is relatively high.
Demographic and financial factors may also play a role in the school's performance. Perry Public Schools, the district that oversees Perry Middle School, has a free and reduced-price lunch rate of 44.71% for the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The school's per-student spending of $12,737 is also relatively high, suggesting the district is investing resources to support its students.
