Summary:
The Bradford School District in Arkansas has only one elementary school, Bradford Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's academic performance is consistently below the state averages across all subject areas and grade levels, suggesting significant challenges in providing effective instruction and support for its students.
Bradford Elementary School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges. This high poverty rate may be a contributing factor to the school's low academic performance, as poverty is often associated with lower educational outcomes. Additionally, the school's relatively high spending per student compared to its low academic performance suggests that the resources may not be effectively allocated or utilized to support student learning.
The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 374 out of 492 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 458 out of 497 in 2023-2024, and 386 out of 495 in 2024-2025. This trend indicates that the school is falling behind compared to other elementary schools in the state, and the district and school leadership may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes.
