Perrymont Elem. is a top notch school! I've been very impressed by the small class sizes. The school has a great sense of community. Teachers are very dedicated, and have high expectations and lots of patience. Admin. and teachers have been easy to contact. Nice facility with a warm feel from the front lobby on! Go Panthers!!!!
