Summary:
Grady Municipal Schools contains just one middle school, Grady Middle School, which serves grades 6–8 with an enrollment of 46 students at 100 Franklin St in Grady, New Mexico. Because it is the only middle school in the district, all district middle-school results reflect this school alone — but that should not be read as a weakness. Nearly all students (95.65%) qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio is 13.1.
By the numbers, this is one of New Mexico's top-performing middle schools. In 2025–2026 it earned 5 stars, ranked 20th of 191 schools, and placed in the 90th percentile; the district ranks 5th of 87 with 5 stars. Mathematics is the standout: all-grade Mathematics NM-MSSA proficiency was 60.87%, more than double the state's 27.85%, and 7th grade reached 75% versus 27.1% statewide. English language arts is also well above state averages, at 65.22% on NM-MSSA compared with 44.66% statewide, though the district's all-grade ELA figures are somewhat higher than the school's. Eighth grade science came in at 50%, above the state's roughly 34%. One 8th grade mathematics result is suppressed by the state for privacy, so it is unknown and cannot be evaluated.
Families should note two caveats. Eighth grade science slipped from 58.33% in 2024–2025 to 50% in 2025–2026, still above state but worth watching. And with only 46 students, a single student's result can shift a percentage by several points, so year-to-year swings are less reliable as trend signals. Rank history shows the same pattern: 6th of 165 (96th percentile) in 2023–2024, 24th of 192 (88th) in 2024–2025, and 20th of 191 (90th) in 2025–2026 — consistently in the top decile, with normal variation for a small school.
