Bradley High School

Summary:

Bradley High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Bradley, Arkansas, with a total enrollment of 151 students. It is part of the Emerson-Taylor-Bradley School District, which is ranked 29 out of 252 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the standout features of Bradley High School is its very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 5.8 to 6.5 over the past 3 years, significantly lower than the nearby Taylor High School, which has a ratio of 8.7. The school also outperforms the state average in several subject areas, including English Language Arts, Reading, and Algebra. However, it struggles in Mathematics and Science, with proficiency rates below the state and district averages. Compared to Taylor High School, Bradley High School lags behind in most subject areas.

Another notable aspect of Bradley High School is its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 44.2% to 60.93% over the past 3 years, significantly higher than the 25% rate at Taylor High School. This suggests that the school may be serving a more economically disadvantaged population, which could be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance in some areas. Despite spending more per student than Taylor High School, Bradley High School's performance has been somewhat inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 42 and 160 over the past 9 years, indicating a need to identify and address any underlying challenges or factors that may be contributing to these fluctuations.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
