Summary:
The city of Bradley, Arkansas is home to two schools - Bradley High School and Bradley Elementary School, both part of the Emerson-Taylor-Bradley School District. While Bradley High School stands out as a strong performer, the elementary school lags behind on key metrics.
Bradley High School boasts a 5-star statewide ranking and outperforms the district and state averages on many test score metrics, particularly in Algebra, Biology, and English Language Arts. In contrast, Bradley Elementary School has a 2-star statewide ranking and underperforms on most test score measures compared to the district and state.
Both schools face socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. However, the high school's lower student-teacher ratio of 6.5 compared to 13.4 at the elementary school may contribute to its stronger academic performance. The district should closely examine the elementary school's curriculum, teaching practices, and resource allocation to identify areas for improvement and support student success across all grade levels.
