Summary

Gray Station Middle School in Gray, GA, serves 609 students in grades 6–8 and is part of the Jones County school district. The school has earned a 4-star rating for three consecutive years and now ranks in the 81st percentile statewide—a remarkable climb from the 51st percentile just a few years ago.

The standout feature at Gray Station is its advanced math program. In 2025–2026, 100% of students taking Algebra I scored proficient or better, compared to 55.3% district-wide and 48.1% statewide. This isn't a fluke—the school has posted near-perfect scores for three straight years. By contrast, Weaver Middle School and Appling Middle School in Bibb County lag far behind in this subject. Gray Station also excels in 8th-grade science (50.6% proficient vs. 29.7% statewide) and social studies (63.6% vs. 40.2% statewide). Across every tested subject, the school beats both district and state averages—a consistency few nearby schools can match. The school also ranks in the 91st percentile for supporting special education students, earning a 5-star rating for that subgroup.

Attendance is another strength. Gray Station's chronic absenteeism rate is just 14.2%, well below the state average of 17.7% and far lower than nearby schools like Ballard Hudson Middle School (40.1%) or Howard Middle School (33.7%). Even Clifton Ridge Middle School, the other Jones County middle school, reports a 21.7% rate. Notably, Gray Station achieves these results while spending less per student ($13,109) than most comparable schools. For parents, this combination of strong academics, low absenteeism, and effective support for all learners makes Gray Station a standout choice in central Georgia.
