Bradford Area School District

The Bradford Area School District in Pennsylvania operates four schools, including two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with all schools reporting high rates of economic disadvantage as indicated by the 100% free/reduced lunch eligibility.

Bradford Area High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 157 out of 674 Pennsylvania high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a strong 87.9% 4-year graduation rate and outperforms the state and district averages on Keystone Exams in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature. In contrast, the elementary schools show more mixed academic results, with some grades performing above and others below the state and district averages on PSSA assessments.

Floyd C Fretz Middle School also performs well, ranking 302 out of 893 Pennsylvania middle schools and maintaining a 0% dropout rate. The school exceeds the state and district averages in PSSA English Language Arts proficiency for grades 6-8. However, the lack of racial diversity across the district's schools, with white students comprising over 90% of the student population, may limit the educational experiences and perspectives available to students.
