Summary:
The 71826 zip code area is home to two schools - Bradley Elementary School and Bradley High School, both part of the Emerson-Taylor-Bradley School District. While the district is ranked 51 out of 250 in Arkansas and has a 4-star rating, the data reveals that Bradley High School is the standout performer, consistently ranking among the top high schools in the state.
Bradley High School boasts a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and a statewide ranking of 64 out of 291 high schools for the 2024-2025 school year. Its proficiency rates exceed state and district averages in many subjects, particularly in English Language Arts and Geometry. In contrast, Bradley Elementary School has lower proficiency rates in most subjects and grade levels compared to state and district averages. The elementary school also faces socioeconomic challenges, with 68.18% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
The data suggests that the district is allocating more resources to support the high school, with higher spending per student and a lower student-teacher ratio at the high school level. This may be a contributing factor to the stronger performance observed at the high school. However, the consistently low proficiency rates at the elementary school level indicate that there are opportunities for improvement in curriculum, teaching methods, or targeted interventions to enhance student learning outcomes.
