Bradoaks Elementary Science Academy

Summary:

Bradoaks Elementary Science Academy is a public elementary school located in Monrovia, CA, serving 398 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Monrovia Unified School District, which is ranked 608 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bradoaks has faced several challenges in recent years, including a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 8.1% in 2017-2018 to 36.0% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. The school's test scores are also generally below the Monrovia Unified district and California state averages across English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Additionally, while White students and Special Education students perform relatively well, Hispanic students and Low Socio-Economic Status students lag behind their peers at the district and state levels.

Bradoaks' proximity to several higher-performing elementary schools, such as Mayflower Elementary and Plymouth Elementary, which are also part of the Monrovia Unified district, highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the school's declining performance. When compared to nearby schools in the Duarte Unified and Arcadia Unified districts, the performance gap becomes even more pronounced, with schools like Highland Oaks Elementary and Camino Grove Elementary significantly outperforming Bradoaks on most metrics.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
