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.

Enjoyed going to school here. The teachers were very helpful. Enjoyed choir and cross-country. I did track one year and found out it wasn't for me.

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.

I enjoy going to this school. The lunches aren't horrible, the teachers are kind, and deadlines aren't fully enforced, while you can't slack.

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.
