Perryville Senior High has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, going from 245 out of 352 Missouri high schools in 2022-2023 to 309 out of 367 in 2024-2025. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is significantly lower than the state averages in most subject areas, with only 18.5% proficiency in Algebra I and 14.4% in Biology I. However, the school has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 93.3% and a low dropout rate of 1.3%.
Despite the school's lower academic performance, it spends $10,472 per student, which is slightly higher than the state average, and has a student-teacher ratio of 17.6, which is also slightly higher than the state average. The high percentage of students (39.97%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the school serves a population with a higher level of economic disadvantage, which may contribute to the lower academic performance.
