Summary

Grady School in Lenorah, TX, is a small, rural PK-12 alternative school within the Grady Independent School District (Isd), serving 241 students with a favorable 12:1 student-to-teacher ratio and a notably low rate of economic disadvantage.

Grady School stands out as a top academic performer in the region, particularly in reading, where it achieved an average proficiency rate of 94.6% across grades 3-8—far exceeding the state average of 54.8% and outperforming nearby schools like Sands Consolidated Independent School District (48.1%) and Klondike Independent School District (Isd) (85.0%). The school also boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate for five consecutive years, a rare and consistent record. While reading is a clear strength, math performance varies by grade, with 8th graders achieving an impressive 96.55% proficiency—more than double the state average—but 7th graders scoring just 44.44%. Science and social studies are hidden strengths, with 5th-grade science at 68.75% and 8th-grade social studies at 77.78%, both well above state averages. However, U.S. History end-of-course exams remain a persistent weakness, with scores consistently below the state average.

Compared to its neighbors, Grady is the clear academic leader, supported by higher per-student spending ($20,230) and a low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced lunch (16.18%). While Klondike ISD is a strong competitor, especially in high school exams like Algebra I, Grady consistently outperforms in early grades and science. For parents, Grady School offers a well-resourced, supportive environment with exceptional literacy outcomes and a track record of student success, though math instruction in middle grades and U.S. History may need attention.
