Graham Elementary

Tucked into the fast-growing Graham community south of Tacoma, Graham Elementary holds its own with solid English and math scores that put it well above the majority of Washington schools. It's a good fit for families planting roots in Pierce County's more affordable, spacious suburbs — the kind of place where newer subdivisions mix with rural stretches and neighbors tend to know each other. For families who want a dependable neighborhood school while enjoying the quieter pace of life outside the city, Graham Elementary is a reassuring anchor in the community.
