Summary:
The city of Bradford, Pennsylvania is home to 4 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Bradford Area School District. While the district as a whole is ranked 214 out of 610 in Pennsylvania and rated 3 stars, a few standout schools emerge from the data.
Bradford Area High School is the clear standout, ranking 184 out of 686 Pennsylvania high schools and earning a 4-star rating. The high school consistently performs well on Keystone Exams, with over 55% proficiency in core subjects. It also boasts an impressive 87.5% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.6% dropout rate. In contrast, the elementary and middle schools in the district appear to be struggling, with lower test scores and rankings compared to state averages.
Another bright spot is School Street Elementary School, which outperforms the district and state in PSSA exams across multiple subjects and grade levels. However, the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across all schools suggest significant economic challenges in the district, which may impact student learning and achievement. The district would likely benefit from targeted interventions and support programs to address these disparities and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
