Summary:
The Perry County 32 district in Missouri has only one middle school, Perry County Middle, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 461 students. While the school has some areas of strength, such as exceptional performance on the Algebra I end-of-course exam, it also faces challenges in terms of academic proficiency, student attendance, and economic disadvantage.
Perry County Middle had a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.2%, which is higher than the state average. The school's math and science proficiency rates were also lower than the state averages across grades 6-8, though its 7th-grade ELA proficiency was above average. Additionally, 54.88% of students at Perry County Middle received free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite these challenges, the school's Algebra I proficiency rate of 81.8% was significantly higher than the district (37.7%) and state (41.5%) averages, suggesting the school is effectively preparing students for advanced math coursework. However, the uneven academic performance across subjects and grade levels indicates there may be room for improvement in the school's overall academic program. Further analysis and comparison to state and national norms would be needed to fully evaluate the school's performance and identify areas for targeted improvement.
