Best Public Schools in Perry, NY

Summary:

The city of Perry, New York is home to two schools: Perry Elementary School and Perry Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Perry Central School District. While Perry Junior-Senior High School is a standout performer, consistently ranking among the top high schools in New York state, Perry Elementary School appears to be struggling, particularly in ELA proficiency.

Perry Junior-Senior High School boasts impressive metrics, including a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, an 84.3% four-year graduation rate, and 100% proficiency on several Regents exams. Additionally, the school's 7th and 8th grade students outperform the state and district averages in both ELA and Math. In contrast, Perry Elementary School has only received 1-2 star ratings from SchoolDigger in recent years and lags behind state averages on many state assessment metrics.

The data also reveals some interesting findings, such as the significantly higher per-student spending at the elementary school ($29,036) compared to the high school ($19,253), and the high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% at Perry Junior-Senior High School. These factors may be contributing to the performance gap between the two schools and warrant further investigation by the district to develop targeted strategies for improvement.
