Perryville Elementary School also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.26% to 64.58% over the past three school years, and a low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.7 to 14.2, which is lower than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Perryville Elementary School generally outperforms in test scores, particularly in ELA and Mathematics proficiency.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Perryville Elementary School may contribute to its performance relative to these higher-performing schools, but the school's low student-teacher ratio and stable performance over time are positive factors that could be leveraged to further improve student outcomes.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
