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.

The school can be warm and inviting. I have grown as a person through my time here at Peru High School, and can say it is an experience that it unique to itself. As I prepare to leave this school, I can say that I feel ready and college prepared.

Peru High School is a very good school, with teachers who aren't only there to teach you, they will most likely help you with a problem if asked. It's one of the best schools in its area academically speaking.

Overall, Peru High School has been a true blessing. My teachers were for the most part wonderful and I have learned a lot from them. They care about their students and want what's best for them. Even after moving up grades, I still wave to my junior year social studies teacher in the hallway every time I see him. It's great to be able to have bonds with teachers.
