Summary

Graham High School is a public high school located in Saint Paris, Ohio, serving 512 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Graham Local District. The school has consistently maintained high four-year graduation rates, reaching 100% in the 2024-2025 school year, and its students generally perform better than the state average on Ohio State Tests across various subjects.

While Graham High School's performance varies across different student subgroups, with stronger results for female, male, and white students, the school faces challenges in areas such as chronic absenteeism and the performance of its special education and low socioeconomic status student populations. Compared to nearby schools like Tecumseh High School, Cliff Park High School, and Springfield High School, Graham High School stands out as a relatively strong performer, with higher test scores and graduation rates.

One notable strength of Graham High School is its program for gifted and talented students, which ranks 79 out of 538 Ohio high schools in this category for the 2017-2018 school year. However, the school's student-teacher ratio has increased from 22.8 in 2021-2022 to 24.3 in 2023-2024, which is higher than the nearby schools, potentially impacting the school's ability to provide personalized attention to students. Overall, Graham High School appears to be a strong-performing school within its local context, but it may benefit from targeted interventions to address areas of concern, such as chronic absenteeism and the performance of specific student subgroups.
