My child is a second grader who is classified developmentally delayed. He came to Bradford elementary from he biker community school, where he was at a considered ending 1st grade at a kindergarten level. Since starting the 2010 2011 school year in Bradford he is already up to a first grade level and thriving! The teachers care deeply for him and his education, and they have encourage him to build confidence and recognize his success! They are great communicators and I have been highly impressed with their special education department as well as all of the teachers I have encountered! This is an amazing school hands down, I know I speak for many other parents I know in the area, "Bradford rocks!" Close Quote
