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 had an overall really good experience with Peru High school. I would like I had a overall really good experience with pro high school. I would like to see some changes, though in the enthusiasm and overall environment for a sports and students. otherwise, the teachers and students are all very nice and create a good atmosphere for learning.

At Peru High School there are many attributes. Our teachers are very devoted and work very hard to help us succeed. With being online recently because of Covid-19 our teachers have done a great job adjusting and figuring out the best way for the students to learn to their full potential.

Despite the many shortcomings of Peru High School, it is not a bad place to be at all. Peru is a small town and not much goes on, but the high school is in fact a lot better than the other two schools in the county. Sporting events have gone downhill since 2015 but they are doing a lot to turn things back around. Teachers are good, but some are not.

Perfect schools do not exist. But this is as close as it gets. We live in a small and quiet community. We may not be the industrial center of the world, but we sure love our little town and the school our Children attend.
