Summary

Graford School is a small, public PK-12 school in Graford, TX, serving 339 students within the Graford Independent School District (Isd), a single-campus district where about half of the students are economically disadvantaged. The school stands out for its exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.6:1, which is far smaller than nearby Mineral Wells High School (15.3:1) and Bryson School (13:1), creating a highly personalized learning environment. Graford also boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, matching Perrin School and Garner College And Career Preparatory Academy in student retention.

However, Graford presents a unique "tale of two schools" under one roof. While its high school excels—with End-of-Course (EOC) scores in Biology (85.29%) and English I (79.41%) significantly outperforming state averages—its elementary and middle school grades struggle, particularly in math. For example, 8th-grade math proficiency was 0% in the 2025-2026 school year, compared to the state average of 47.24%, and Algebra I scores were low at 20.83%. This contrasts sharply with Bryson School, which had 77.27% proficiency in 8th-grade math and 65.38% in Algebra I. The inconsistency in math performance across grades suggests a challenge in building foundational skills, creating a "V-shaped" performance profile that is unique among nearby schools.

Despite these math challenges, Graford has clear strengths in high school English and science, with consistent above-state-average performance over recent years. The school invests heavily in its students, with per-student spending of $12,807 and a low student-teacher ratio, which pays off in high school success and student retention. For parents, this means Graford offers a supportive, small-school environment where high schoolers thrive in core subjects, but families should be aware of the need for extra support in elementary and middle school math to ensure students are well-prepared for high school-level coursework.
