Summary

Graham Elementary in Graham, TX, is a public school serving 979 students in grades PK through 5 within the Graham Independent School District (Isd), and it is the only elementary school within a 20-mile radius, making it a central educational hub for the community.

Graham Elementary has shown a history of improvement, climbing from a low point in 2018-2019 to a peak in 2020-2021, but recent data indicates a plateau, with the school now ranking in the 41st percentile statewide. A key strength is its exceptional performance for Gifted and Talented (GT) students, who ranked in the 84th percentile in 2024-2025. However, the school faces a significant challenge in serving its economically disadvantaged students, who make up over half of the student body and ranked in the 23rd percentile in 2025-2026. This creates a "school within a school" dynamic, where success is unevenly distributed. Additionally, academic performance in core subjects like reading, math, and science generally lags behind state averages, with notable inconsistency across grade levels—for example, 5th graders outperformed the state in 2023-2024 but fell below average in 2025-2026.

Despite a 28% increase in per-student spending from $7,358 to $9,433, overall academic rankings have not improved, raising questions about how resources are allocated. The school's favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.9:1 suggests smaller class sizes, but this has not translated into consistent school-wide gains. For parents, Graham Elementary offers strong support for high-achieving students through its GT program, but families of economically disadvantaged students may want to inquire about targeted interventions. The school's recent decline in overall performance signals a need for strategic reassessment to ensure that the success seen in some areas can be replicated across all grade levels and student groups.
