Middle Schools in Bradford Area School District

Summary:

The Bradford Area School District in Pennsylvania has only one middle school, Floyd C Fretz Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with a statewide ranking between 273 and 350 out of 873-893 Pennsylvania middle schools and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school's proficiency rates in PSSA Math and English Language Arts (ELA) tests are generally below the state and district averages, it has shown some strengths in specific subject areas. In 2024-2025, the school's 8th grade Math proficiency (45.9%) was higher than the state (30.5%) and district (45.5%) averages, and its overall ELA proficiency (53.9%) was also higher than the state (48.5%) and district (50.1%) averages. The school's Science proficiency rates for 8th grade in 2023-2024 (56.9%) were higher than the state (54.5%) and on par with the district (56.9%) averages.

The school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (100.74% in 2023-2024). However, the school's relatively low dropout rate of 1.4% for the 2023-2024 school year is a positive indicator. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $15,465 for the 2022-2023 school year suggests a focus on providing resources and support for its students.
