Perry is a nice school but there is some things that need to be updated. The food needs to be better. They also need to teach students about college readiness more.

Perry is a school where everyone knows your name, and where people care about you and want to see you do well. Teachers are supportive in helping you achieve the goals you set for yourself, and the school invests in its students in a way many schools don't. It's a small, rural town and some students choose to be closed-minded, but you'll find much more support and friendship from most of the student body and faculty. People have each other's back at Perry, and you'll always be safe and welcomed by most people.

Before Perry I was that quiet girl you see sitting alone at a table during lunch. And yes I still sit alone. However I have many more friends than I ever did at Letchworth. I'm not that shy, quiet little girl I was before. Perry has changed me for the better. Now I have friends, I'm getting better grades, and I'm involved in more things like select Chorus and NTHS. The teachers at Perry are so kind and helpful towards the students. I have had a lot of fun here at Perry and will be sad to leave for college but I know I have to let go and move on.
