Summary:
The Perry Local school district in Ohio has only one high school, Perry High School, which serves grades 9-12. While the school has some positive metrics, such as a relatively high graduation rate, it also faces challenges in areas like chronic absenteeism and academic performance on state tests.
Perry High School had a strong 96.9% four-year graduation rate in the 2024-2025 school year, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school struggled with a chronic absenteeism rate of 23.5% in the same year, which is higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance on state tests was mixed, outperforming the state in some subjects like American Government and American History, but underperforming in others, such as Mathematics and Algebra I.
Additionally, a high percentage (66.56%) of Perry High School students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's spending per student of $8,574 in the 2018-2019 school year was slightly below the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 17.9 in the 2023-2024 school year was slightly higher than the state average.
