Graham Elementary School has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 36.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math, is also consistently lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 29% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA and Math, compared to 53% and 58% respectively for the district, and 57% and 63% for the state.

When comparing Graham Elementary School to the nearby schools, such as West Tampa Elementary School, it becomes evident that the school is underperforming compared to its peers. Despite the relatively high spending per student, ranging from $12,855 to $18,459 over the past few years, Graham Elementary School's academic performance remains low, suggesting that the school may need to re-evaluate how resources are being allocated and utilized to support student learning.
