Summary

Perry Middle School is a grades 6–8 school serving 528 students in the Worthington City district at 2341 Snouffer Rd in Worthington, Ohio, a suburban community near Columbus. It currently ranks 242nd of 1,046 Ohio middle schools (77th percentile, 4 stars), up from the 56th percentile in 2022–2023 — a clear, multi-year improvement.

Perry scores above the state average in every reported tested subject, with its clearest strengths in 6th- and 7th-grade math and in advanced math (Algebra I: 88.1 vs. 61.6 statewide). Compared with nearby schools, it ranks ahead of John Sells Middle School and Ann Simpson Davis Middle School in Dublin and well ahead of Columbus City's Ridgeview Middle School, Woodward Park Middle School, and World Language Middle School, but trails Hastings Middle School in Upper Arlington (93rd percentile, 5 stars). Within Worthington, it sits essentially even with Worthingway Middle School and below Kilbourne Middle School, Phoenix Middle School, and Mccord Middle School. Its biggest academic gap is 8th grade: Science 8 and ELA 8 each run about 10 points below the district average.

One important piece of context is that Perry serves a higher-need population than most of its district peers: its free/reduced lunch rate is 44.7%, the highest among reported Worthington middle schools, and chronic absenteeism is 16.3% versus the district's 15.2%. Absenteeism is higher than at Kilbourne, Mccord, and Phoenix, though better than Worthingway. In subgroup effectiveness, Perry is especially strong for special education students (91st percentile, 5 stars), African American students (85th), White students (86th), and multi-racial students (85th), while Hispanic, English Language Learner, and low-income results sit nearer the middle but are trending upward. Its student-teacher ratio of 13.1 is favorable, and Perry shares a campus with the much smaller Phoenix Middle School (154 students, 90th percentile), giving families an unusual side-by-side comparison.
