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 loved my time at Perry Meridian High School. They do need better lunches. He sports programs are great. If I ever needed help with anything, the administration, coaches, and teachers were always there to support.

IEP's were illegally ignored. Overall not a good experience. The food was awful. The AP offerings were great and could be started freshman year.

Building needs better care, especially facilities. Gym has good upkeep but bathrooms are horrible. Parking lot is not well managed so students run out of parking spaces even though there are parking passes available.
