Summary

Graham School The is a very small public high school in Columbus, Ohio, serving grades 9–12 with about 139 students, and it functions as its own district in state data. By state standards it ranks near the bottom: 704th of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–26 (11th percentile, 1 star), while the Graham School The district ranks 727th of 773 (6th percentile, 0 stars). It has remained in the bottom quarter of Ohio high schools for the past decade, with percentile ranks mostly between the 10th and 23rd.

Outcomes are the biggest concern. The graduation rate sat in the mid-80s from 2021–22 through 2023–24 (83.9%, 85.2%, 85.4%), then fell to 72.5% in 2024–25 and 66.7% in 2025–26 — lower than every nearby school except Focus North High School (22.6%), and close to Linden-McKinley STEM Academy (69.6%). More than half of students are chronically absent (53.1% in 2025–26). Test proficiency is below the state in every reported subject, with math especially weak: Algebra I 3.3% proficient versus 61.6% statewide, and Geometry 6.7% versus 43.3%. Bright spots include American Government (61.3% vs. 71.6% state) and English II, which improved from 21.6% in 2023–24 to 41.9% in 2025–26.

Graham is the smallest high school in its comparison group, and its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio of 12.6 is lower than most neighbors (Whetstone 19.5, Northland 17.4, Upper Arlington 22.2). Its 2018–19 per-student spending of $21,235 was the highest among nearby schools — well above Upper Arlington High School ($14,775) and Whetstone High School ($10,438) — yet results remain among the lowest, suggesting funding alone is not resolving the challenges. About 66% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2023–24. On school-effectiveness measures, special education students rank at the 32nd percentile and African American students at the 25th, both above the school overall, though every group still sits below the state median.

What people are saying

Friday, March 22, 2019

What I would like to change at The Graham school is all the staff members and how they treat some of the good by making them feel bad when they did not do anything to but they make them feel like their the bad guys when they're not. I want them to talk more about college instead of trying to make then work right after they graduate because that's unfair everyone does a change and I want them to stop taking the good kids for granted because it's sick and makes me look down at this school.
