Summary:
The Graham-Dustin area is home to a single high school, Graham-Dustin High School, which serves a small student population of just 43 students. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance across multiple subjects and grade levels compared to state averages.
Graham-Dustin High School's proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and U.S. History are well below the state averages, with only 3% of 11th-grade students proficient in ELA and Math in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's four-year graduation rate of 82.2% is also lower than the state average. These academic struggles may be exacerbated by the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0%, indicating issues with student engagement and attendance.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $12,219, the data suggests that Graham-Dustin High School is facing challenges in effectively allocating and utilizing its resources to support student learning and achievement. The combination of low academic performance and high poverty levels (90.7% of students receive free/reduced lunch) raises concerns about educational equity and the school's ability to provide equal opportunities for all students.
