Welcome to Perry Middle School
Perry Middle is one of the finest, most well-rounded middle schools in Georgia. Academically, Perry Middle scored at or above the state average in every area ofthe Georgia Criterion-Reference Competency Test (CRCT) and has again made Adeqyate Yearly Progress (AYP). In October of 2009, Perry Middle was named a "Georgia Title I Distinguished School"; for the second year in a row.
Utilizing the concept of Plan - Do - Check - ACT, and Teach a little, test a little, we have implemented a Connections Math program. In our Math classes, any student who is having difficulty understanding a concept and who doesn't score well on the mini-assessment for that idea or concept will attend a Connections Math class. They will continue to attend this class until that math skill or concept is mastered. This is an extra period of Math for those students who need it during the regular academic day. The idea is simple, we want to make sure that problems are identified and corrected as we go. Teach a little, test a little.
Athletically, Perry Middle competes in grades seventh and eighth against the seven other middle schools in Houston County. Boys and girls represent our school in softball, football, basketball cheerleading, soccer, baseball, and track. Currently during the 2009 - 2010 school year, we won the County Championships in several of these sports.
The faculty and staff at Perry Middle School are among the most qualified and caring educators in the profession. Our staff has a variety of background and experiences. There are fifty-seven certified staff members here. Sixty-five percent of these hold a Master's Degree or higher. The teachers here have an average of eleven years of teaching experience. We have one Resource Officer from the Perry Police Department on our campus who builds positive relationships with our students.
At Perry Middle, our focus is truly on student learning.
