Summary:
Zip code 42754 has one listed middle school, Grayson County Middle School, serving grades 6–8 with 837 students in the Grayson County district. In 2025–2026, the school was above the state in 7 of 10 reported subject-and-grade results, but its advantage was uneven: its average was 49% compared with 42% statewide. The most important finding is that two strong grade 8 results—writing and editing and mechanics—account for much of that overall lead.
There is no other listed school to compare, so the standouts are results within Grayson County Middle. Grade 8 writing was the clearest strength, with 78% proficient versus 48% statewide, a 30-point advantage; editing and mechanics was 64% versus 42%, 22 points higher. The clearest below-state results were grade 6 reading, at 49% versus 54%, and grade 6 math, at 38% versus 42%. Results also differ by grade: math was 8 points above the state in grade 7 and 4 points above in grade 8, while reading was 5 points above in both grades 7 and 8. Excluding writing and editing, the school’s average across the other eight results was about 44%, just 2 points above the state.
The school’s average lead narrowed from 14 points in 2024–2025 to 7 points in 2025–2026: its average fell from 57% to 49%, while the state average moved from 43% to 42%. Grade 8 reading fell 17 points and grade 6 reading fell 13, while writing improved 3 points and editing improved 2. SchoolDigger still awarded four stars, though its ranking declined from the 87th percentile (41 of 320) in 2024–2025 to the 71st percentile (96 of 326) in 2025–2026. Other context: the student–teacher ratio was 15.5 in 2024–2025, and 58% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch that year; chronic absenteeism was 26% in 2025–2026, compared with 24% statewide. With only one school listed, these figures cannot establish how it compares with other local schools.
