High Schools in Gray Stone Day School

The Gray Stone Day School district, located in Misenheimer, NC, contains just one high school, Gray Stone Day, which serves grades 6 through 12 with an enrollment of 728 students and a student-teacher ratio of 17.3. Because this district has only one high school, there are no peer schools within the district to compare against, so the most meaningful benchmarks are North Carolina state averages and how the school's own subjects and grade levels stack up against one another.

By nearly every measure, Gray Stone Day is a high-performing school. The district ranks 17th out of 246 North Carolina districts with a 5-star rating, while the high school itself ranks 147th out of 662 high schools — the 78th percentile with 4 stars. Its graduation rate is 93.9%, well above the state's 88.8%, and chronic absenteeism is strikingly low at just 7.9% compared to the state's 24.2%. On 2025–2026 state tests, proficiency rates run 24 to 31 points above state averages in almost every subject. Eighth-grade science stands out at 94.5% proficiency, English II hits 92.1%, and Math III reaches 85.9%. Middle-grade math and reading results are similarly strong, with all grades scoring between 81% and 87% proficiency, and overall average proficiency across all tests is about 82% versus roughly 58% statewide.

The one clear exception is the Math I EOC. Only 42.6% of students scored proficient, essentially matching the state average of 42.1% and sitting about 43 points below the school's own Math III results. Year-over-year data shows mostly strong gains, with 8th-grade math jumping 23 points, 8th-grade reading up 14.3 points, and Biology up 15.7 points, though Math I declined by 6.4 points. The school has also been remarkably stable, ranking between 140 and 147 out of roughly 640-plus high schools over the past three years with a 78th-percentile placement each year. Free-and-reduced-lunch eligibility is not reported, so it is not possible to assess performance through an equity lens. Overall, Gray Stone Day is a very strong, consistent school whose only notable weakness is Math I.
