Grady School

Tucked away in the small West Texas town of Lenorah, Grady School is the kind of place where everyone knows your kid's name — and that tight-knit community feel seems to translate directly into the classroom, with the school ranking among the top 40 in all of Texas. Families drawn to rural life in Martin County will find a school that punches well above its size, particularly in English and Math, making it a genuine academic standout in a region better known for open skies and oil country than high-performing schools. If you're settling into this corner of the Permian Basin and want a small-town upbringing without sacrificing academic quality, Grady is a compelling reason to plant roots here.
