Summary

Perry Elementary School is a PK–4 school in Perry, OH, serving 538 students in the Perry Local district, a relatively high-performing district that ranks 127th of 773 Ohio districts (84th percentile, 4 stars) and stands out among nearby districts such as Riverside Local, Madison Local, Painesville City Local, and Fairport Harbor Exempted Village.

In 2025–2026, Perry Elementary School ranked 396th of 1,560 schools — 75th percentile, 4 stars — a rebound from 53rd percentile in 2024–2025 and 52nd in 2023–2024. Its test scores were above the state in all four tested subjects/grades: 3rd-grade math 80.8%, 4th-grade math 81.7%, 3rd-grade ELA 78.8%, and 4th-grade ELA 69.9%. Locally, Perry is tied with Buckeye Elementary School for the second-highest nearby rank, behind Parkside Elementary School. It beats Riverview Elementary School, South Elementary School, North Elementary School, and the Painesville/Fairport schools in many measures, though Buckeye Elementary School is higher in 3rd-grade math, and Parkside Elementary School and Riverview Elementary School are higher in 4th-grade math. Fourth-grade ELA trails Parkside Elementary School, Buckeye Elementary School, and South Elementary School but is above Riverview Elementary School and North Elementary School.

Attendance is a clear strength: chronic absenteeism fell from 19.4% in 2021–2022 to 10.6% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 14.6% and lower than most nearby schools, with only Chestnut Elementary School (5.3%) and Parkside Elementary School (9.3%) lower. In 2025–2026, all reported student groups earned 4 stars, with especially large gains for low-income students (27th to 74th percentile) and special-education students (36th to 82nd percentile). Perry’s free/reduced lunch rate was 29.37% in 2024–2025, and its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 17:1, lower than Parkside Elementary School, Buckeye Elementary School, Riverview Elementary School, South Elementary School, and North Elementary School. Keep in mind that Perry Elementary School is PK–4, so it has no 5th-grade science or 5th-grade test data, and its spending figure ($12,402 per student) is from 2018–2019.
