Summary

Bradley International School is a public elementary school serving 577 students in grades PK-5 in Denver, Colorado. It is part of the School District No. 1, which is ranked 76 out of 115 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Bradley International School consistently outperforms the district and state averages, ranking in the top 15-20% of Colorado elementary schools over the past 10 years with a 4-star rating.

Bradley International School's academic performance is particularly strong, with 47.9% of students proficient or better in ELA and 51.1% in math, compared to 41.9% and 32.9% for the district, respectively. The school also performs well for its Hispanic, White, and Gifted and Talented student subgroups, ranking 8th out of 270 Colorado elementary schools for its Hispanic students in 2018-2019. Additionally, Bradley International School has relatively low chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.0% to 37.1%, which are still lower than the district average.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, Bradley International School stands out as a high-performing institution. For example, Ellis Elementary School, just 1.64 miles away, has significantly lower academic performance, with only 21.3% of students proficient or better in ELA and 14.6% in math. This difference may be partly attributed to Bradley International School's relatively low percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 32.39% to 36.33% over the past few years, which is lower than many nearby schools.

We love the learning environment at Bradley. The teachers and principal are wonderful, and easily accessible. We have a cutting edge school garden that is community supported. My daughter currently attends and I plan on sending my son here as well. Close Quote
