Summary:
The 45308 zip code is home to two schools: Bradford High School and Bradford Elementary School, both part of the Bradford Exempted Village district. While the elementary school generally performs well, the high school faces some academic challenges, particularly in mathematics. Both schools serve a predominantly white and economically disadvantaged student population.
Bradford High School has a relatively small enrollment of 244 students, with an extremely high percentage of white students (98.36%). The school's academic performance is mixed, with some subject areas exceeding state averages, while others, such as Geometry and 6th-grade math, fall significantly behind. However, the school boasts a strong 94.3% four-year graduation rate. Conversely, Bradford Elementary School performs better than the state averages in 3rd-5th grade math and English language arts, with a particularly strong 76.3% proficiency rate in 5th-grade science.
Both schools face challenges related to high poverty levels, with over 90% of students at Bradford High School eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the high school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 22.4%, while the elementary school's rate is more moderate at 15.6%. Despite these challenges, the schools in the 45308 zip code appear to receive above-average per-student spending and have relatively low student-teacher ratios, suggesting a potential need to evaluate the effectiveness of resource allocation and identify targeted strategies to address the observed performance gaps.
