While the schools show a mix of performance, Carlisle County Middle School stands out as a top-performing middle school in the state, consistently ranking in the top 20% and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Carlisle County Middle School's exceptional performance is particularly evident in mathematics, where 6th and 7th grade students significantly outperform the state average.
