Summary:
Graham Local in Ohio serves about 1,588 students across three schools—one elementary (PK–5), one middle (6–8), and one high school (9–12)—and is rated 337 of 773, at the 56th percentile with 3 stars. Enrollment is largest at Graham Elementary School (735 students), followed by Graham High School (491) and Graham Middle School (362). Although all three schools carry 3-star ratings, their academic, attendance, and operational profiles differ sharply.
Graham Middle School is the strongest current academic performer: it ranks 372 of 1,046, in the 64th percentile, and every listed 2025–26 test is above the state rate, including Algebra I at 100% versus 61.6% and Math 6 at 71.8% versus 56.2%. However, it also has the district’s highest chronic absenteeism at 21.9%, compared with 15.1% for the district and 10.8% at the high school, and the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 45.86%. Its rank has slipped from 74th percentile and 4 stars in 2024–25 to 64th percentile and 3 stars in 2025–26, so its standout status comes with attendance and economic-disadvantage challenges.
Graham High School has the best attendance profile, with 10.8% chronic absenteeism and a 99.2% graduation rate. Its strongest results are in social studies—American Government 90.6% versus 71.6% and American History 87.3% versus 73.2%—but Algebra I is a clear weakness at 45.3% versus 61.6%, a gap of 16.3 points. It also has the largest student-teacher ratio (27.2) and the lowest 2018–19 per-student spending ($8,092), though its rank is improving from 42nd percentile and 2 stars in 2023–24 to 54th percentile and 3 stars in 2025–26.
