Summary

Bradfield Elementary is a PK-5 school in Garland, TX, serving 525 students within the Garland Independent School District (Isd), and it has achieved a remarkable academic turnaround over the past decade, now consistently ranking in the top quartile of Texas elementary schools despite serving a student population where over 92% are economically disadvantaged.

Bradfield’s standout strength is mathematics, where it dramatically outperforms both district and state averages across all tested grades. For example, 75% of 5th graders were proficient in math in the most recent school year, compared to 54% district-wide and 47% statewide. This performance is especially impressive when compared to nearby schools like Bullock Elementary (0.57 miles away), which scored only 32% in 4th-grade math, and Davis Elementary (0.92 miles away), which scored 66% in 4th-grade math but only 51% in 5th-grade math. Bradfield’s math scores are more aligned with high-performing magnet schools like Beaver Technology Center and Walnut Glen Academy For Excel, but with a much higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The school also excels in Spanish-language assessments, with 5th-grade reading scores of 63% (compared to 35% statewide), indicating a highly effective bilingual program that successfully closes achievement gaps for English Language Learners.

While Bradfield shines in math and bilingual education, its 5th-grade science scores remain a persistent weakness, with only 26% proficiency in the most recent year—below the state average of 30%. This contrast highlights a clear area for future focus. The school achieves its results with a student-teacher ratio of 16.9 and per-student spending of $10,249, suggesting efficient use of resources rather than excessive funding. For parents comparing options, Bradfield offers a compelling choice: it is a high-performing neighborhood school that competes academically with selective magnet programs while serving a far more challenged population, making it a standout example of effective school leadership and targeted instruction in the Garland area.
