Summary:

Zip code 67738 has two small schools: Grinnell Grade School, serving prekindergarten through grade 4, and Grinnell Middle School, serving grades 5–8; together they enroll 65 students. The most important difference is how far their recent results sit above state figures: the Grade School is well ahead, while the Middle School is only modestly above statewide results overall.

Grinnell Grade School is the clear standout in 2025–2026, with 91% proficiency in English language arts (ELA) versus 46% statewide, and 82% in math versus 41% statewide—gaps of 45 and 41 percentage points. Grinnell Middle School is the lower of the two on those comparisons, but still slightly above the state in all-grades results: 48% in ELA versus 46%, 48% in math versus 41%, and 45% in science versus 38%. Its grade-level results vary: fifth graders were notably above state in ELA and math, while sixth-grade math and fifth-grade science were slightly below. Because the schools serve different grade spans, their overall scores are not a same-grade comparison.

Both schools’ results improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026. The Grade School rose 22 percentage points in ELA and 20 in math; the Middle School rose 14 points in ELA, 17 in math, and 9 in science. The Middle School also moved from below to above state in all-grades ELA and math. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for the Middle School improved from 320th of 362 schools (12th percentile) in 2023–2024 to 113th of 368 (69th percentile) in 2025–2026. The schools report similar free- or reduced-price lunch rates—47% at the Grade School and 45% at the Middle School—while their student-teacher ratios are 7.7 and 5.3, respectively; these are useful context, not explanations of results.
