Summary

Bradford Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 255 students in grades PK-5 in Bradford, Ohio. The school is part of the Bradford Exempted Village School District, which is ranked 496 out of 828 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Bradford Elementary's performance on state tests is generally below the state average, the school's results vary across different student subgroups. Male students tend to perform better than female students, and the school ranks in the bottom quartile of Ohio elementary schools for white students and students with disabilities. However, the school's performance for low-socioeconomic status students is better, ranking in the middle third of the state. Nearby high-performing schools like Versailles Elementary and Russia Elementary significantly outperform Bradford Elementary in core subjects like math and science.

Another area of concern for Bradford Elementary is its high chronic absenteeism rates, which have ranged from 10.4% to 22.2% in recent years. This is significantly higher than the 1.6% rate at the high-performing Franklin Monroe Elementary School, located just 11 miles away. While Bradford Elementary's per-student spending is higher than the state average, it is lower than some nearby high-performing schools, suggesting potential imbalances in resource allocation that may need to be addressed.
