Summary

Bradford High School is a small rural public school in Bradford, Ohio, serving about 244 students in grades 6–12 as the only secondary school in the Bradford Exempted Village district. It is a high-poverty school: 98.77% of students were economically disadvantaged in 2024-25, among the highest rates in its comparison group. Academically, Bradford sits in the lower-middle of Ohio schools, earning 2 stars and ranking around the 39th percentile statewide in 2025-26, a position it has held fairly steady for roughly a decade.

Graduation is a genuine strength: 94.6% in 2025-26 and 100% in 2024-25, within a few points of much higher-ranked neighbors such as Ansonia High School, Arcanum High School, Versailles High School and Russia High School. The standout result is special education, where Bradford's students ranked in the 92nd percentile statewide with 5 stars in 2025-26, up sharply from the 60th percentile the year before — a bright spot many similar rural districts do not have.

Two challenges stand out. Chronic absenteeism was 25.0% in 2025-26, about double most nearby schools and far above top performers like Russia High School (3.4%) and Versailles High School (3.0%). Math is the sharpest academic gap: 25.8% of 8th graders were proficient versus 52% statewide, and Algebra I trailed the state 48.6% to 61.6%. High poverty locally does not automatically mean low results — Arcanum High School serves a nearly identical poverty level yet ranks in the 90th percentile — so Bradford has accessible nearby models to learn from.
