Bradford High School

Summary:

Bradford High School is a public high school serving grades 6-12 with 244 students in Bradford, Ohio, which is part of the Bradford Exempted Village School District. The school has several unique characteristics, including a significantly higher percentage of white students compared to the state average, consistently high graduation rates, and mixed academic performance on state tests.

One of the school's strengths is its high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 94.3% to 97.5% over the past five years, which are notably higher than the state average. However, the school struggles with chronic absenteeism, with the rate increasing from 7.0% in 2019-2020 to 30.6% in 2023-2024, which is still lower than the state average. Academically, Bradford High School excels in subjects like American Government, Algebra I, and Science, but underperforms in Mathematics, particularly in the upper grades.

Compared to the nearby Upper Valley Career Center, Bradford High School has a significantly lower student-teacher ratio of 7.7, compared to the career center's 17.5. This may contribute to the career center's lower performance on some metrics, such as a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Overall, Bradford High School faces challenges in areas such as chronic absenteeism, declining statewide rankings, and socioeconomic disparities, which may require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

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.
