Summary:
The Perryton Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an accelerated education center). The district as a whole is ranked 515 out of 961 school districts in Texas and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
Within the district, a few schools stand out. Edwin F. Williams Intermediate is a top-performing 4th-5th grade elementary school, ranking in the top 30% of Texas elementary schools. Perryton J.H. (Middle School) also performs well, ranking in the top 35% of Texas middle schools, with particularly high proficiency rates in 8th grade math and reading. While Ludi Pena Martin Accelerated Education Center has the lowest overall ranking, it stands out for its exceptional 98.2% 4-year graduation rate and 0.4% dropout rate.
The district and its schools generally perform below the state averages on standardized tests, with high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the wide range in spending per student, from under $9,000 to over $34,000, suggests the district may need to examine its resource allocation to ensure equitable funding across all schools. Addressing the economic challenges facing the community could be a key focus area for improvement in the Perryton Independent School District.
