Summary:
The 72126 zip code area is home to two schools, Perryville Elementary School and Perryville High School, both part of the Perryville School District. While the district is ranked 119 out of 252 in Arkansas with a 3-star rating, the schools show some notable strengths and areas for improvement.
Perryville Elementary School stands out for its strong performance in English Language Arts and Reading, particularly in the 6th grade, where students outpace the state averages. However, the school lags behind in math proficiency, especially in grades 3-4. With a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 61.26%, the school serves a more economically disadvantaged population, which could be a contributing factor to its lower math and science scores. In contrast, Perryville High School has a lower free/reduced lunch rate of 54.08% and outperforms the state in ELA proficiency, but struggles with math and science, particularly in Algebra and Geometry.
Both schools benefit from favorable student-teacher ratios, with Perryville High School having an exceptional 7.6:1 ratio. However, the overall spending per student at both schools is below the state average, which could be a limiting factor in providing resources and support. The data suggests that targeted interventions to address the specific areas of weakness, such as math and science proficiency, could help the Perryville School District improve its overall performance and better serve its student population.
