Bradley Academy - An Arts Integrated School

Summary:

Bradley Academy - An Arts Integrated School is a public elementary school serving 340 students in grades K-6 in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, which is part of the Murfreesboro school district. While the school has a diverse student body, its overall academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Tennessee elementary schools over the past decade.

Despite its lower overall ranking, Bradley Academy shows some strengths in specific student subgroups. The school has performed relatively well for its African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner (ELL), and special education students, ranking in the top half of Tennessee elementary schools in these categories. However, the school's performance for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is below average, suggesting that it may be facing challenges in supporting its economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Murfreesboro district, such as Northfield Elementary and Black Fox Elementary, Bradley Academy generally performs below average in mathematics, English language arts, and science proficiency rates. This indicates that the school may need to explore ways to replicate the successful strategies used with its stronger-performing student subgroups to improve its overall academic outcomes and better serve its diverse student population.

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.

Open Quote I have worked with this school for the last 4 years, helping with the hair and makeup during their theatre programs. I am so impressed by the behavior of these students. They are very respectful and caring toward me and others that I have seen them interact at Center of the Arts and at their school. I have said this to many, "This is one of the best keep secrets in Murfreesboro. I am blessed to be able to help with these wonderful students, that bring so much to my life and others. Keep being the super stars that they are to so many. Thanks to Mrs. Isom for giving me this opportunity to bring my cosmetology students from TCAT Murfreesboro to help them with their production.

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.
