Perry High School

Perry High School is a public high school in Perry, Ohio, serving 505 students in grades 9 through 12. It earns a composite score of 8.9/10 — an Excellent rating — anchored by a 9.8/10 growth score and an 8.4/10 academic score. That combination is harder to achieve than it looks: high academic scores often come from schools serving already-advantaged students, but a near-perfect growth score means students here are advancing faster than expected regardless of where they started.

Statewide, Perry High ranks 21st out of 886 public high schools in Ohio — a standing reached against schools of every size and demographic profile. Measured across all 3,440 Ohio public schools, it outperforms 95%. A student-teacher ratio of 18.7:1 is worth noting in that context: these results come without the class-size advantages many top-ranked schools depend on.

Within Perry, it holds the top spot among the town's three public schools. Taken together, the scores describe a school where academic achievement and student progress reinforce each other — the 9.8 growth rate isn't an outlier inflating an otherwise average profile; it tracks alongside genuine academic strength.
