The Perry
School District serves an area of 155
square miles with a student population of
over 1800 students. The District is
proud of its comprehensive K-12 educational
program with a PK-5 elementary school, a
6-8 middle school and a 9-12 high school
and alternative school.
The elementary school is
located in a spacious new facility and provides
a rich array of programs and activities
to meet the needs of students. The
school has technology available in each
classroom in addition to two technology
labs. Maintaining a low student to
teacher ratio is a priority at Perry Elementary.
In addition, a before and after school program
is provided at Perry Elementary.
The curriculum, instruction and environment
at Perry Middle
School are designed to meet the
needs of our adolescents. A middle
level philosophy, which supports teaming
and flexible scheduling, has been adopted.
The Boys Town Educational Model for social
skills has recently been implemented.
When not in core classes, students explore
foreign language, industrial technology,
art, music, family and consumer science,
careers, health, physical education and
technology. The Middle School is housed
in an excellent facility, which is approximately
40 years old.
The District has recently completed the
construction of a new high school,
which will provide an outstanding facility
for students, families and the community.
The high school offers a wide range of courses
designed to encourage students to think
creatively, critically and independently.
The fine arts, vocational and athletic programs
have achieved great success over the years
and have strong community.
The Perry Community School District is staffed
by an expert group of individuals who take
pride in student success. Everyone
in the Perry community works together to
ensure a quality educational program for
our young people.
St.
Patrick's Catholic School offers education
for students from preschool to eighth grade.
St. Patrick's provides a diverse education
alternative. In cooperation with the community
school district, St. Patrick's offers much
the same curriculum and involves students
in joint classroom experiences with the
public school. For more information, please
call (515) 465 - 4186.
*Several private preschools serve the community
as well as a Head Start Program.
