Summary:
The Northeast Bradford School District in Pennsylvania operates two schools: Northeast Bradford Elementary School and Northeast Bradford Junior/Senior High School. The elementary school consistently outperforms the district and state on PSSA Math and English Language Arts tests, with particularly strong results in 3rd and 4th grade. In contrast, the junior/senior high school's performance on PSSA and Keystone Exams is more mixed, with some areas exceeding and others lagging behind district and state averages.
Despite the academic performance contrast, the junior/senior high school stands out for its relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 87.9% and low dropout rate of 1.4% in 2023-2024, outperforming the district and state. The elementary school, on the other hand, has a higher free/reduced lunch rate of 53.08% compared to 48.07% at the junior/senior high, suggesting a greater concentration of students from lower-income households. Interestingly, the junior/senior high school has a slightly higher per-student spending of $20,746 compared to $19,647 at the elementary school, which may reflect the different educational needs and programming required at the secondary level.
Overall, the Northeast Bradford School District provides a mixed educational landscape, with the elementary school excelling academically and the junior/senior high school demonstrating strong student retention and graduation rates. These insights suggest opportunities for further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure equitable educational outcomes for all students across the district.
