Elementary Schools in Perry County 32

The elementary schools in Perry County 32, Missouri, serve students from prekindergarten through 5th grade. The district includes two schools: Perryville Primary Center and Perryville Elementary. While the schools do not stand out as exceptional performers, the data reveals some areas of concern that the district may need to address.

Both Perryville Primary Center and Perryville Elementary have high chronic absenteeism rates, with 17.2% of students missing a significant number of school days. Additionally, a majority of students in both schools (over 59%) receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that the district faces socioeconomic challenges that could impact student performance. Perryville Elementary's academic performance on standardized tests, such as the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP), was consistently below the state average in mathematics, English language arts, and science, suggesting a need for improvement in student achievement.

Despite the similar student-teacher ratios and spending per student at both schools, the data does not reveal any clear standout performers. The district may benefit from a closer examination of the factors contributing to the schools' challenges and the implementation of targeted interventions to support student success, address chronic absenteeism, and improve academic outcomes across the elementary schools in Perry County 32.
