Best High Schools in Zip Code 74352

ZIP code 74352 has one high school, Locust Grove High School, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 428 students. With no other high school in the ZIP code, families cannot compare local schools against one another. The clearest achievement finding is a sharp subject contrast: in 2025–26, the school’s English Language Arts I proficiency was above the state result, while its Mathematics, Science, and U.S. History results were below it.

Because it is the only school listed, Locust Grove High School is both the highest- and lowest-ranked school in this local list; that does not indicate how it compares with other area schools. Its strongest subject result was ELA I, where 36% were proficient, 10 percentage points above the state and 13 points above the Locust Grove district. Mathematics was the clearest weakness: 10% were proficient, 15 points below the state and 13 below the district. Science was 19%, 11 points below the state, and U.S. History was 31%, 10 points below the state. Among 11th-graders, ELA I matched the state at 36%; Mathematics, Science, and U.S. History were 7, 2, and 10 points below statewide results.

Proficiency declined in all four subjects from 2024–25 to 2025–26: 2 points in ELA I, 7 in Mathematics, 2 in Science, and 6 in U.S. History. Over the same period, the school’s gaps to the state widened in every subject. SchoolDigger’s ranking also fell, from 140 of 432 schools, the 68th percentile and 3 stars in 2023–24, to 258 of 462, the 44th percentile and 2 stars in 2025–26. Other measures offer a more positive picture: the 2024–25 graduation rate was 86%, 9 points above the state and equal to the district, while 2025–26 chronic absenteeism was 0%, compared with 2% in the district and 16% statewide. The school’s 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 14.4, and 48% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Because this list contains only one school, these context measures cannot be compared with another local high school.
