Lone Grove

The Lone Grove area has four listed schools serving PK–12: Lone Grove Primary Elementary School (PK–2), Lone Grove Intermediate School (grades 3–5), Lone Grove Middle School (grades 6–8) and Lone Grove High School (grades 9–12); together they enroll 1,454 students. Primary has no reported test scores. Because the other schools cover different grade spans, their All Grades results are not like-grade comparisons. Across those three schools, average reported results are strongest relative to the state in English (37% versus 26%, an 11-point advantage) and science (39% versus 30%, a 9-point advantage); math is much closer (26% versus 25%, a 1-point advantage). The key overall finding is that strengths are concentrated by subject and school rather than shared evenly across the area.

Grade-matched results identify the clearest standouts: High School’s 11th-grade English score was 47%, 11 points above the state’s 36%, and its U.S. History score was 64%, 23 points above the state’s 41%; Intermediate’s 5th-grade science score was 55%, 20 points above the state’s 35%. In the All Grades science results, Intermediate was highest at 55%, compared with 39% at Middle and 22% at High; High was 8 points below the state’s 30%. The All Grades spread is narrower in math, from 24% at Middle to 29% at Intermediate. These comparisons show where results stand out, but no one school leads across every subject.

Recent results are mixed: Middle’s All Grades math score rose 7 points, from 17% to 24%, while the state fell 1 point to 25%; High’s scores declined in every reported subject, including an 8-point drop in English and a 12-point drop in U.S. History. High’s SchoolDigger percentile also fell from 93rd to 87th, while Intermediate rose from 57th to 65th and Middle from 62nd to 67th. SchoolDigger rankings are separate from test scores. As additional context, 2024–2025 student-teacher ratios ranged from 13.0 at Middle to 16.4 at High; Intermediate was 14.7. The schools’ 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 56% at Primary, 55% at Intermediate, 51% at Middle and 43% at High. These figures do not form a simple pattern with results: Intermediate had the highest science score, while High stood out in English and history.
