We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

We were unable to stay at Graham after 6 years. We ended up in 2 other elementary schools after Graham and can see even more clearly after we left how great we had it there. They have amazing teachers and staff and I would recommend the school to anyone!

I would rate it as highly as possible. The teachers are incredible, and the overall educational culture is outstanding with many teachers being there 10 and 20+ years at the same school. That says something to me. I would recommend any family to Graham.

The Principal, Mr. Harris, has great passion for the success of each and every child in this school. This is also very evident through his staff. They are friendly, professional and very hands on with ensuring each child receives equal attention in the learning process.
