Summary

Graham High School in Graham, TX, serves approximately 694 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the Graham Independent School District (Isd).

Graham High School has historically been a solid mid-tier school, but recent data shows a significant drop in its overall state ranking, falling to a 2-star rating in the 2025-2026 school year. This decline is broad-based, affecting most student groups, and is reflected in test scores that fell below state averages in key subjects like Algebra I and U.S. History. However, the school maintains exceptionally high graduation rates (consistently above 96%) and very low dropout rates, indicating strong student retention. A standout strength is the school's Gifted and Talented program, which ranks in the 96th percentile statewide, earning a 5-star rating. This creates a "two schools" dynamic, where top-performing students thrive while the general population struggles. The school's performance for Special Education students has been volatile, dropping from a 4-star rating to a 1-star rating in the most recent year. There are no other schools within 20 miles of Graham High School for direct comparison.

For parents, the key takeaway is that Graham High School offers a strong environment for student persistence and graduation, with a particularly excellent program for gifted learners. However, the recent, widespread academic decline across most student groups is a serious concern that warrants attention. The school's ability to support its general student population, especially those from low socio-economic backgrounds, appears to have weakened. While the Gifted program can serve as a model for effective instruction, the school must address the systemic issues causing the overall drop in performance to ensure all students are well-served.
