Summary:
ZIP code 74059 has one high school, Perkins-Tryon High School, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 454 students. Because it is the only school in the supplied list, there is no local school-to-school comparison. Its results vary substantially by subject: in 2025–2026, proficiency ranged from 17% in mathematics to 57% in U.S. History, a 40-point gap. The most important takeaway is that U.S. History and English Language Arts were above state results, while mathematics and science were below.
U.S. History was the school’s strongest subject: 57% were proficient, compared with 41% statewide, a 16-point advantage; ELA was also ahead, at 38% versus 26%, or 12 points. Mathematics was the weakest, with 17% proficient compared with 25% statewide, an 8-point gap; science was 18% versus 30%, a 12-point gap. The school’s All Grades and 11th-grade results were identical in all four subjects. SchoolDigger lists the school at 129th of 462 statewide for 2025–2026, in the 72nd percentile, with 4 stars; these are SchoolDigger rankings and rating, not state test measures.
Recent test-score changes were mixed: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, school proficiency fell 6 points in ELA and 9 in science, stayed level in mathematics, and rose 7 points in U.S. History. Science’s gap to the state widened, while the U.S. History advantage grew. Other reported measures compare favorably with the state: the 2024–2025 graduation rate was 83% versus 78%, and 2025–2026 chronic absenteeism was 5% versus 16%. The student-teacher ratio was 18 in 2024–2025, and 50% were free/reduced lunch eligible that school year. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking rose from 65th in 2023–2024 to 76th in 2024–2025, then eased to 72nd in 2025–2026.
