Summary:
The Graham Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one elementary school, Graham Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's academic performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 2288 out of 4647 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 2645 out of 4651 in 2024-2025, earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Graham Elementary's performance on state assessments, such as the STAAR tests, is generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading ranged from 42.96% (3rd grade) to 50.7% (5th grade), compared to the state averages of 52.02% (3rd grade) and 57.83% (5th grade). Similarly, the school's performance on STAAR Mathematics tests lags behind the state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 38.26% (4th grade) to 41.38% (5th grade), compared to the state averages of 45.79% (4th grade) and 46.24% (5th grade). The school's performance on STAAR Science for 5th grade (28.67% proficient or better) is also below the state average of 29.57%.
The data also reveals that Graham Elementary serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 66.77% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's student-teacher ratio is 15.3 for the 2023-2024 school year, and the per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $9,433. These factors may contribute to the school's academic struggles and highlight the need for targeted interventions and resource allocation to support student learning and improve overall school performance.
