Bradford Elementary School

Public Grades PK, KG-5

Summary

Bradford Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Pueblo, Colorado, with 301 students, the majority of whom are Hispanic (79.73%). Unfortunately, the school has consistently struggled, ranking in the bottom half of Colorado elementary schools over the past decade and receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bradford Elementary faces significant challenges in terms of academic achievement, with only 19.4% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 16.5% proficient in math, well below the state averages. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 89.78% to 90.30% over the past three years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite these challenges, the school's Hispanic students perform better than the school's overall ranking would suggest, ranking 95 out of 197 Colorado elementary schools.

Compared to nearby schools, Bradford Elementary lags behind in academic performance. For example, Haaff Elementary had 45.2% of students proficient in English Language Arts, more than double the rate at Bradford. Similarly, Franklin School of Innovation has a significantly higher statewide ranking than Bradford Elementary. As part of the low-performing Pueblo School District No. 60, Bradford Elementary may face challenges in securing adequate funding and resources to support its students, contributing to its persistent underperformance.
