Summary

Isaac Newton Graham Middle serves grades 6–8 and 860 students in Mountain View, California, as part of the Mountain View Whisman district. Its 2025–2026 proficiency results were above California’s in English, math and science, but the most important takeaway is that Graham still trails most nearby schools, particularly in science.

Math is Graham’s strongest subject against the state: 59% of students were proficient, 21 points above California; the school was also 14 points above the state in English and 19 points above in science. It was slightly below its district in all three subjects, by 1 point in English, 1 in math and 2 in science. Compared with the 10 nearby schools’ averages, Graham was lower by 10 points in English, 11 in math and 14 in science. Among Graham and those 10 peers, it ranked ninth in English and math proficiency and 10th in science, placing it toward the lower end of the local group.

Results have risen since 2022–2023: English and math each gained about 6 points, while science gained 7. Graham’s advantage over the state grew modestly, while its gaps below district rates narrowed by about 6 points in English, 3 in math and 6 in science. SchoolDigger ranks Graham 367th of 2,703 California schools, at the 86th percentile, with four stars; most nearby schools have five stars. Its 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 17.5, within the peer range of 13.9–22.5, and 26% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s group rankings show lower relative effectiveness for some students: the school was at the 29th percentile for Low Socio Economic Status Students in 2025–2026, compared with 86th overall, and at the 11th percentile for Homeless Students in 2024–2025, compared with 86th overall that year.
