GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

Graham High School has been a comfortable place for me to further my academics. Every class I have taken has been challenging but helpful towards my education. The best thing about my experience has to be the ability to connect with the teachers and peers in classroom environments. The worst part has to be the worry about being prepared for college classes. I feel like the classes here can be hard at times but has been a breeze to accomplish and I wonder if college classes will be a whole new experience for me.

Out of all the schools I've attended, Graham High School stands out as the best. The teachers are friendly and they try to connect with the students as well as they can. The overall staff is extremely kind and generous. I would like to see the participation and involvement levels of students grow. Many students can't find a club that they think would suit them best, so it would be beneficial if there were more options available.

Graham High School is a wonderful school for learning and for sports. We hold many academic awards and athletic awards throughout the county. The school is outdated though and does not have great internet capabilities. We were assigned Chromebooks to do work on but they are not of great quality either. I feel that Tazewell Co. Board of Education could provide better online learning modes. We also have subpar lunch food. We don't get enough food on our trays and the quality of food is not great either. I have loved being in the school and apart of the athletic organizations. We do have wonderful teachers and administration that are caring and helpful.

We moved here from NC in 2020, and I’ve been very happy with the curriculum and the teachers.

Graham High School has much to offer motivated students. The teachers will work with anyone who wants to do something with their lives. Any negative comments are probably coming from the people who feel that they are entitled to easy grades just because they come to school from time to time.
