High Schools in Perry County School District


Summary:

The Perry County School District in Mississippi has only one high school, Perry Central High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Mississippi high schools, with a 1-2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years.

Perry Central High School faces several challenges, including below-average test scores, particularly in English II, and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9%, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's four-year graduation rate of 89.4% is slightly below the state average, and nearly half (47.79%) of the students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage.

Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.3, which may indicate smaller class sizes. However, the overall data suggests that Perry Central High School requires additional support and resources to improve student outcomes and overall school performance.
