Summary

Graham Elementary is a public elementary school in Austin, Texas, serving 477 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Austin Independent School District (AISD), which is ranked 578 out of 961 districts in the state.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $9,873 to $12,062 per student, Graham Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the AISD and Texas state averages in STAAR test scores across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 47.22% of 5th-grade students at Graham Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 62.97% for AISD and 57.83% for Texas. The school's performance in STAAR Mathematics and Spanish assessments has also been significantly lower than the district and state averages.

When comparing Graham Elementary to nearby schools within the AISD, such as Barrington Elementary, Cook Elementary, and Walnut Creek Elementary, the performance gap is evident. These nearby schools, while still facing challenges, generally outperform Graham Elementary in academic metrics and student subgroup performance, suggesting the need for a more targeted and tailored approach to address the unique needs of the Graham Elementary community.
