GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I like that Perry Central High School is like family there. Some teachers there are more than just teachers they actually care. I wish parents would step in and the school was funded more because we lack a lot of things that would help take the school to the next level.

I like how we're a smaller school and the teacher help a lot with one on one. One thing I don't like is our material is outdated because lack of fund we receive.

Very caring staff/faculty. Students are respectful for the most part I know that teachers and administrators worry and care about their students.
