Summary:
The Perry County 32 school district in Missouri is home to two elementary schools: Perryville Primary Center (grades PK-2) and Perryville Elementary (grades 3-5). While the schools serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, they do not stand out as exceptional performers within the district or the state of Missouri.
Both schools face challenges related to chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 17.2% at both campuses, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools consistently underperform on standardized tests compared to the state, with proficiency rates ranging from 32.1% to 45.6% across various grade levels and subject areas. The Perry County 32 district itself is ranked 222 out of 367 districts in Missouri and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
While the data does not reveal any clear standout schools, it does highlight areas of concern, such as the funding disparity between the two campuses and the potential decline in performance at Perryville Elementary over time. The district may benefit from further analysis and targeted interventions to address these challenges and improve educational outcomes for its students.
