Summary

Gray Stone Day is a 6–12 school in Misenheimer, NC, serving about 728 students under its own single-school district, Gray Stone Day School, which earns 5 stars and ranks 17th of 246 districts statewide at the 93rd percentile. The school itself holds 4 stars and ranks 147th of 662 North Carolina high schools, placing it in the 78th percentile.

The school's most distinctive strength is its middle school program. In 2025–2026, every EOG subject was far above the state average: 6th grade math hit 87.4% proficiency (vs. 59.2% statewide), 8th grade reading hit 87.3% (vs. 56.1%), and 8th grade science hit 94.5% (vs. 68.6%). High school results are similarly strong in English II (92.1%), Biology (82.7%), and Math III (85.9%), and the graduation rate of 93.9% sits well above the state's 88.8%. Chronic absenteeism is just 7.9% — about one-third of the statewide rate of 24.2%.

Against nearby traditional high schools, Gray Stone is a clear standout. Its English II proficiency of 92.1% far exceeds Mount Pleasant High, Carson High, Albemarle High, and North Stanly High, with similar gaps in Biology and Math III. However, Stanly Early College High and Stanly STEM Early College — both ranked in the top 50 statewide — post near-universal proficiency in several subjects. Gray Stone's main challenges are Math I, which has often hovered near or below state proficiency levels, and a ranking that has slipped from the top 20 statewide before 2020 to the upper quarter today. Even so, among broad-based schools in this region, Gray Stone Day remains the strongest overall option.
