Commodore Perry School District

The Commodore Perry School District in Pennsylvania operates two schools: Commodore Perry School, an elementary school, and Commodore Perry Junior/Senior High School. The district serves a high-need student population, as evidenced by the very high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools.

Commodore Perry School stands out for its relatively high math and ELA proficiency rates, especially in 3rd-5th grades, and its exceptional 100% proficiency in 4th grade science. The school also has a high student-teacher ratio of 9.9, suggesting smaller class sizes. In contrast, Commodore Perry Junior/Senior High School has a more mixed academic performance, with strengths in certain Keystone Exam subjects but weaknesses in PSSA Math assessments.

Despite the high-need student population, Commodore Perry School is performing relatively well academically, while Commodore Perry Junior/Senior High School has a 4-year graduation rate of 87.9% and a low dropout rate of 1.4%. The significant difference in spending per student between the two schools ($26,227 for the elementary school and $35,411 for the junior/senior high school) may warrant further investigation into resource allocation and funding distribution within the district.
