Summary

Grady Middle School is a small public middle school in Grady, New Mexico, serving grades 6–8 in Grady Municipal Schools with 46 students. The district is highly ranked: 5th of 87 New Mexico districts, at the 94th percentile with 5 stars. The school ranked 20th of 191 middle schools in 2025–2026, at the 90th percentile with 5 stars, and its recent history is consistently strong, including 6th of 165 in 2023–2024 and 24th of 192 in 2024–2025. It serves a high-poverty population: 95.65% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025 and 100% in 2023–2024, with a 13.1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025.

The nearest comparison provided is San Jon Middle School, about 19.64 miles away, which serves grades 6–8, enrolls 29 students, and had an 8.0 student-teacher ratio and 100% free/reduced lunch eligibility in 2024–2025. In 2025–2026, Grady outperformed San Jon in ELA and math: 65.22% vs. 40.74% in all-grades ELA on NM-MSSA and 60.87% vs. 29.63% in math. Grady was well above state averages in both, while San Jon was below the state ELA average and above the state math average. San Jon’s science score was suppressed. Grady’s math exceeds its district average, while its ELA trails the district average but remains above state; San Jon was below its district average in both subjects.

Mathematics is Grady’s standout subject. In 2025–2026, 7th grade math reached 75% on NM-MSSA versus a 27.1% state rate, and 8th grade science was 50% versus state rates of 34.19%–34.33%. ELA has been stable around 63–65%, and math rebounded to 60.87% in 2025–2026 from 45.45% the prior year. Reported subgroup performance is strong, including for low-income students. Grady’s 8th grade math score is suppressed for 2025–2026, reflecting privacy protections for small groups; do not read it as a weakness or zero. Because enrollment is only 46 students, single-year swings are expected, but the overall pattern is a high-poverty school with strong rankings, exceptional math, and solid ELA and science.
