Summary

Perry Middle School is a public middle school located in Worthington, Ohio, serving 521 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Worthington City School District, which is ranked 175 out of 828 school districts in Ohio and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Perry Middle School has shown consistent academic performance, with proficiency rates in Ohio State Tests generally above the state averages across subjects and grade levels. However, the school's performance is mixed compared to other schools in the Worthington City district, outperforming the district average in some areas but lagging behind in others. When compared to nearby schools outside the Worthington district, such as Hastings Middle School in the Upper Arlington City district, Perry Middle School's performance is generally lower.

The school has strong performance among certain student subgroups, such as African American students and students with special needs, but struggles with the performance of Hispanic students and economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, Perry Middle School has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism rates, which are higher than the rates of nearby Worthington district schools. While the school stands out in its performance for gifted and talented students, its overall ranking has dropped in recent years, indicating a potential decline in performance that warrants further investigation.
