Bradford Elementary School

Summary:

Bradford Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 239 students in grades PK-5 in Bradford, Ohio. The school is part of the Bradford Exempted Village School District, which is ranked 502 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Bradford Elementary School's performance on state tests is generally on par with or slightly above the state averages in most subjects and grade levels. However, the school's performance lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools, particularly in English Language Arts. The school has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 3.5% in 2019-2020 to 14% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the state average and some of the nearby schools. Interestingly, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.6 to 13.3 over the past few years, lower than the ratios of many nearby schools.

When compared to the surrounding schools, Bradford Elementary School's performance is mixed. It generally outperforms some schools, such as Greenville Elementary, but falls behind higher-performing schools like Ansonia Elementary, Franklin Monroe Elementary, and Versailles Elementary. The school's relatively high percentage of low-socioeconomic status students may be a contributing factor to its academic performance and chronic absenteeism rates.

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.
