Summary

Graham Middle School in Saint Paris, OH, serves 362 students in grades 6–8 and is part of the Graham Local district, a small Champaign County community about 25 miles north of Dayton.

Academically, Graham Middle ranks 372nd of 1,046 Ohio middle schools in 2025–2026 (64th percentile, 3 stars), a major climb from the low 40s a decade ago, with a peak of 74th percentile and 4 stars in 2024–2025. It beats the state average in all eight tested subject/grade combinations, from +1.1 points in 6th-grade ELA to +15.6 in 6th-grade math, and outranks its own district (56th percentile), suggesting the middle grades are a relative strength. Still, it trails nearby high performers: on 8th-grade science, Graham posts 68.8% versus Miami East Junior High School at 90.4% and West Liberty-Salem Middle School at 91.3%. Algebra I proficiency is 100% for three straight years (94.7% the year before), likely reflecting a small accelerated group rather than all students. Math is a relative strength in 6th grade, but the advantage narrows in grades 7 and 8. The 2025–2026 dip was concentrated in 8th-grade science and 6th-grade ELA, while Math 6 and Math 8 improved. Against Piqua Junior High School, Sidney Middle School, Tecumseh Middle School, and Urbana Junior High School, Graham typically ranks third to sixth among nearby ranked schools.

The clearest weakness is chronic absenteeism: 21.9%, above the Graham Local district’s 15.1% and more than triple Miami East Junior High School’s 5.8%, with the gap widening each year. Graham’s student-teacher ratio is 21.2, the highest among comparable 6–8 nearby buildings, up from 16.9 in 2023–2024. Subgroup data shows strengths among special education students (71st percentile, 4 stars) and gifted students (91st percentile, 5 stars in 2023–2024), and male and female students perform almost identically. The school’s long-term trajectory remains positive, but attendance and class size are the operational areas most likely to affect future progress.
