Summary

Graham Intermediate is a public school in Bluefield, VA serving 404 students in grades 2–5 as part of Tazewell County Public Schools, a district ranked in the 85th percentile statewide. The school itself ranked 451st among 1,111 Virginia elementary schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 59th percentile with a 3-star rating.

The school's most standout positive is attendance. Graham's chronic absenteeism rate was just 14.9% in 2024–2025, essentially tied with the state average and dramatically better than nearby Tazewell Intermediate (25.2%), Tazewell Primary (28.7%), and Dudley Primary (27.8%). Graham also made a strong recovery from the pandemic era, when its chronic absenteeism spiked to 57.9% in 2021–2022. Academically, 5th-grade science is a consistent strength, with about 79% proficient — roughly 10 points above the state average. Reading scores show a clear upward pattern: 3rd-grade reading hovers near the state average, but by 4th grade it jumps to 83%, well above the statewide 74%. Given that nearly 9 in 10 students qualify for free/reduced-price lunch, the school's 75th-percentile ranking for economically disadvantaged students is especially encouraging.

The main areas to watch are 3rd-grade reading, which trails the district average, and an uneven performance across student groups: the White student subgroup ranked in the 26th percentile in 2025–2026, far below the school's overall 59th-percentile standing. Graham's overall ranking has also drifted from its 87th-percentile peak in 2020–2021 down to the 57th–65th percentile range in recent years. Still, the school delivers solid results relative to its spending of $8,451 per student, outperforming Bland County Elementary in several subjects despite Bland spending over $13,000 per student. Compared with nearby Abb's Valley-Boissevain Elementary, which posts very high scores in some grades but much lower ones in others, Graham offers more consistent achievement across grade levels.
