Summary

Bradley International School is a PK–5 elementary school in Denver, CO, serving 574 students in School District No. 1. The school earns a 4-star rating and ranks in the 70th percentile statewide — 280th out of 943 Colorado elementary schools — notably strong given its district ranks in only the 38th percentile. Bradley beats district and state averages in every subject: 53% ELA proficiency versus 42.5% district and 44.7% state; 51% math versus 35% and 37.3%; and 51.7% science versus 33.2% and 36.1%. The school previously ranked in the 83rd–89th percentile from 2015–2016 through 2022–2023, though recent years have settled into the 65th–72nd percentile range.

Bradley sits in a neighborhood of wildly divergent school outcomes. Within two miles, Slavens K-8 School and Creativity Challenge Community rank in the 98th percentile, while Ellis Elementary School, Holly Hills Elementary School, and Holm Elementary School rank in the 4th–35th percentile. A striking comparison: Holly Hills, just 0.69 miles away in the higher-ranked Cherry Creek School District No. 5, posts just 25.7% ELA and 22.4% math proficiency — far below Bradley's 53% and 51%. Bradley also outperforms Ellis (85% free/reduced lunch) and Holm (70% free/reduced lunch), while posting results similar to Rocky Mountain Prep Creekside, a school with more than double Bradley's poverty rate. This suggests Bradley's academic strength is broad-based.

Bradley's main challenges are chronic absenteeism and an equity gap for low-income students. Its absenteeism rate rose to 27.1% in 2024–2025, well above top peers like Slavens K-8 School (4.4%) and Cory Elementary School (10.2%). Low-income students ranked in the 43rd percentile in 2025–2026, up from the 21st percentile the prior year — progress, but still a concern. Bright spots include gifted students jumping from the 29th to the 85th percentile and consistently strong science scores. A 4th-grade math dip (41.3% versus 57.4% in 3rd grade) may be worth investigating. With attendance improvements, Bradley has a clear path back to its former top-quartile status.

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
