Another strong performer is Bowman Middle, a 4-star school that ranks in the top 30% of middle schools in the state and has strong performance on EOG tests across all grade levels.

The elementary and middle schools in the Mitchell County Schools district generally perform below the state averages on EOG tests, particularly in Math and Reading, indicating a need to focus on improving core academic skills at the lower grade levels. Additionally, the district's high free/reduced lunch rates across the schools suggest that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in student achievement, and targeted interventions and support for economically disadvantaged students could be an area of focus.
