An overview of Graham public schools
The federal directory lists 9 public schools in Graham, WA: 6 elementary, 2 middle, 1 high. The 9 schools that reported 2024–25 membership enrolled 5,974 students, an average of 664 per school. The largest campus is Graham Kapowsin High School (2,087 students), and the largest elementary school is Centennial Elementary (540).

Across schools that reported staffing, the median student–teacher ratio is 15.3:1, lower than the statewide school median of 16.7:1. A ratio counts classroom-teacher FTE against total enrollment, so specialized programs and part-time staffing can move it; ask schools for actual class sizes by grade.
About 51% of students in reporting schools were eligible for free or reduced-price meals in 2024–25. This describes the community served; it is not a quality signal, and community-eligibility schools can report differently.
