While the schools in Perryville generally perform below state averages across various metrics, a few standout institutions emerge from the data.
Perry County Middle School stands out as the highest-ranked school in the district, ranking 187 out of 438 Missouri middle schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Perryville Senior High has a lower statewide ranking but boasts a strong 93.3% four-year graduation rate, exceeding the state average. The schools in Perryville also face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates and underperformance on standardized tests compared to state averages, particularly in Algebra I at the high school level.
Across the district, the schools in Perryville serve a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 39.97% at Perryville Senior High to 58.88% at Perryville Primary Center. This suggests the district may need to focus on providing additional support and resources to address the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population and improve overall academic performance.
