Schools in Grimes County

About schools in Grimes County

Four districts serve Grimes County's rural stretch of east-central Texas, and the differences between them matter for families doing their homework. While the county spans small towns like Navasota, Anderson, Iola, and Richards, three of its ten ranked schools land in the top quartile statewide — a meaningful concentration for a rural county of this size. Iola High School reaches the 86th percentile, and both Anderson-Shiro Elementary and Anderson-Shiro Jr/Sr High School sit at the 85th — suggesting that smaller district enrollment hasn't held those campuses back. Families willing to look beyond the county seat will find quietly strong options scattered across the area.
