Summary

Perry High School is a public high school located in Lima, Ohio, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 323 students. The school is part of the Perry Local District, which is ranked 447 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Perry High School's performance has been relatively consistent, with a 3-star rating for most years, except for the 2021-2022 and 2020-2021 school years, where it received a 2-star and 1-star rating, respectively. The school has seen a steady increase in its four-year graduation rate, from 90.8% in 2022-2023 to 96.9% in 2024-2025. However, the school has experienced a fluctuating chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 23.5% to 35.8% in recent years. While the school performs well in American Government and American History, it struggles in Mathematics, with proficiency rates consistently lower than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Elida High School and Waynesfield-Goshen Local High School consistently outperform Perry High School in terms of statewide ranking and test scores. Additionally, Auglaize County Educational Academy, a virtual charter school, has significantly lower performance compared to Perry High School and other nearby schools. Despite having a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, Perry High School's performance for this student group is relatively strong, suggesting effective strategies in supporting these students. However, the school's performance for disabled students is a significant area of concern, with the school ranking in the bottom 100 high schools in Ohio for this student group.
