Summary:
Zip code 48872 is home to a single high school option: Perry Secondary Campus Home to Perry Middle Perry High School, a combined campus serving grades 7 through 12 within the Perry Public Schools district, with a total enrollment of 476 students.
This school presents a clear contrast in academic strengths. In English Language Arts, students perform at or above state averages across all grades, with particularly strong results in 9th and 10th grade PSAT exams (70.1% and 62.7% proficient, respectively, versus state averages of 60.2% and 58%). Science is also a bright spot, with 11th graders achieving 43.8% proficiency on the M-Step compared to the state's 35.2%. However, mathematics is a consistent weakness—proficiency rates fall below state averages in every grade and on every exam, from 7th grade through 11th grade. For example, only 18.8% of 11th graders are proficient in SAT Math versus the state's 26.5%. Social studies performance is mixed, with 11th graders slightly below the state average and 8th graders also below.
Beyond test scores, the school shows strong non-academic indicators. The dropout rate is just 2.4%, far better than the state's 7.1%, and chronic absenteeism is 17.2% versus the state's 27.9%. The graduation rate of 86.4% edges out the state average of 84.0%. The school's state ranking has been volatile, swinging from the 72nd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 43rd percentile in 2024-2025, then back up to the 61st percentile in 2025-2026—likely reflecting small cohort sizes. With 31.3% of students economically disadvantaged, a 17:1 student-teacher ratio, and per-student spending of $13,748, the school offers a supportive environment where students stay engaged, but addressing the systemic math gap would likely boost its overall standing considerably.
