Summary:
Zip code 74848 has one middle school, Thomas Ies, serving grades 4–8 with 310 students. With no other middle school in the list, families cannot compare local schools against one another; the available comparisons are with state and district results. In 2025–2026, the school’s strongest all-grades result was science: 40% proficient, 10 points above the state and 11 points above the district. The clearest takeaway is that science is a relative strength, while ELA is below the state.
Within the school, results vary considerably by subject and grade. All-grades math was also above the state at 28% versus 25%, while ELA was 24% versus 26%. Sixth-grade math stands out most positively: 42% were proficient, 16 points above the state. Sixth-grade ELA was the weakest state-relative result, at 13% versus 25%, or 12 points below. Science also differs by grade: fifth-grade results were 51%, 16 points above the state, but eighth-grade results were 31%, 5 points below. These contrasts mean the all-grades science result does not describe every grade.
Across the two years reported, science and math improved while ELA declined: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, science rose from 38% to 40%, math from 27% to 28%, and ELA fell from 26% to 24%.
