School Overview

Perry Elementary sits in Erie, a lakeside city with a tight-knit, working-class character and a strong sense of neighborhood identity. The school serves families in one of the more challenging parts of the district, and while test scores reflect those broader community pressures, it may still be a fit for families who value stability and want to stay rooted in their local Erie community. Families considering the area should tour the school directly and connect with other parents to get a real feel for the classroom culture and available supports.
