Summary

Perryton High School in Perryton, TX, serves 549 students in grades 9-12 within the Perryton Independent School District (Isd), and is a solid, stable institution that excels at graduating its students and preparing them in English and Biology.

Perryton High School’s strongest differentiator is its exceptional graduation and dropout rates, consistently achieving a 98-99% graduation rate and a 0.0% to 0.5% dropout rate, on par with the high-performing Booker Jh/H S (100% graduation) and far exceeding typical schools with similar demographics. The school also outperforms the state average in English I and English II Reading, with 59.12% proficient in English I and 65.65% in English II. However, it struggles significantly in Algebra I, with proficiency rates fluctuating wildly and consistently lagging behind state averages, suggesting a need for targeted math intervention. Additionally, the school shows a stark contrast in serving different student populations: it excels with Gifted and Talented students (76th percentile) but struggles with Special Education students (bottom 14th percentile for three consecutive years).

Interestingly, the Ludi Pena Martin Accelerated Education Center, an alternative education campus within the same district, has a very high per-student spending ($34,819) and a tiny student-teacher ratio (2.6:1). While its test scores are low, its existence likely helps Perryton High School maintain its high graduation and low dropout rates by providing a specialized environment for at-risk students. Perryton High School has shown remarkable stability in its overall state ranking over the last decade, consistently hovering between the 48th and 67th percentile, a sign of a well-run institution that is not prone to dramatic swings in performance.

What people are saying

by a teacher
Friday, March 13, 2009

New teachers should especially avoid this school district. It is a very tight, family community that is resistant to outsiders. The current administration is very green and inexperienced especially in relation to teachers. The teacher turnover rate is horrible! A teacher looking for a long term job should use caution when considering a position at Perryton High School. Close Quote
