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.

Went to the school for all four years, didn't go physically half of sophomore year because of COVID. Senior year I got hit by a car and that made me even more disconnected from teachers and students. During graduation preparation staff and students were barely nice and made me feel excluded

It's alright. We don't really do much. It's more focused on passing the test and passing the class rather than actually learning the material.

Perry Traditional Academy was very welcoming to me and all my siblings. There were many opportunities to try out different sports and extracurricular activities while still maintaining a high GPA.

This school has helped me so much. I went from getting straight C's to straight A's and the teachers are very helpful. I did feel like I wouldn't fit in because I am a different race than most of the students that go here, but I've fit in perfectly and made lots of friends. I've experienced no bully...
