Summary:
ZIP code 74441 has one listed middle school, Hulbert Middle School, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 108 students, so there are no local peer schools to compare. In 2025–2026, its all-grades proficiency was above the state in science (37% versus 30%) and just above in English Language Arts (27% versus 26%), but below in math (17% versus 25%). Math remains the clearest academic concern, despite a notable improvement from the prior year.
With no other middle school in the ZIP code, Hulbert is both the local top and bottom school by default; its results stand out in comparison with state figures instead. English Language Arts was above the state at each reported grade, by 4 points in grade 6, 5 in grade 7, and 4 in grade 8. Math varied sharply by grade: grade 7 was 5 points above the state (31% versus 26%), while grade 6 was 10 points below and grade 8 was 14 points below (3% versus 17%). Grade 8 science was 1 point above the state. Attendance is a strong result: chronic absenteeism was 1.1% in 2025–2026, compared with 4.9% districtwide and 15.9% statewide.
Results improved in English Language Arts and math from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while science declined. Hulbert’s English Language Arts proficiency rose from 20% to 27%, moving from 6 points below the state to 1 point above it; math rose from 7% to 17%, narrowing its state gap from 19 points to 8. Science fell from 41% to 37%, though it remained above the state, which was at 30% in both years. SchoolDigger ranked Hulbert at the 56th percentile statewide in 2025–2026 (166 of 378), up from the 30th percentile in 2024–2025. Other context measures include a 14.7 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and 75% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; these figures alone do not explain the school’s results.
