Summary:
The 44710 zip code area is home to two schools - Perry High School and Cedar Elementary School. While Perry High School stands out as a relatively high-performing school, Cedar Elementary School faces significant challenges in student achievement and engagement.
Perry High School has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Ohio high schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts an impressive 97.1% four-year graduation rate and outperforms the state and Perry Local district averages on all end-of-course assessments. In contrast, Cedar Elementary School lags behind the state and Canton City district averages on 3rd-grade mathematics and English language arts assessments, with proficiency rates of only 31.9% and 37%, respectively.
The data highlights a significant performance gap between the two schools. While Perry High School maintains a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 3.3%, Cedar Elementary School struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 38.5%. Despite the similar per-student spending at both schools, the disparities in student outcomes suggest that factors beyond funding, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and targeted interventions, may play a more significant role in driving student success.
