Summary:

The 48872 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Perry Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 and is part of the Perry Public Schools district. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, it currently ranks 703 out of 1,486 Michigan elementary schools and holds a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Perry Elementary's academic performance is mixed, with 4th-grade students outperforming their 3rd-grade counterparts in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. However, the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates in these subjects are below the state averages. Additionally, the school faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%. Despite these areas of concern, the school spends a relatively high $15,176 per student and maintains a student-teacher ratio of 14.1.

The school serves a community with a significant socioeconomic need, as nearly half of its students (47.18%) receive free or reduced-price lunch. This factor may contribute to the variability in academic performance observed between grade levels, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by the student population. Overall, while Perry Elementary has room for improvement, the school's commitment to providing adequate resources and support for its students is evident in its per-student spending and student-teacher ratio.
