Summary:
The city of Bradford, Massachusetts is home to two schools: Bradford Elementary and Greenleaf Academy. While Bradford Elementary serves a larger student population of 508, Greenleaf Academy stands out with its smaller class sizes and higher per-student spending, potentially providing a more personalized learning environment for its 32 students.
Academically, Bradford Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 590th out of 936 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 702nd out of 928 in 2022-2023. This suggests a relative decline in performance compared to other elementary schools in the state. Additionally, Bradford Elementary's MCAS proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are below the Haverhill district and Massachusetts state averages.
Both Bradford Elementary and Greenleaf Academy serve a majority Hispanic student population, with significant representation from white and African American students. Additionally, the schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, raising questions about the equitable distribution of resources and opportunities across the Haverhill School District.
