Summary

Bradford Elementary is a PK-5 school in the San Angelo Independent School District (Isd) serving 453 students in a high-poverty area, where over 85% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Bradford has historically ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Texas, currently sitting in the 7th percentile. This creates a stark contrast with nearby schools like Ft Concho Elementary and Santa Rita Elementary, which are among the top 10% in the state. However, there is a significant bright spot: Bradford has achieved remarkable success with its English Language Learner (ELL) and Special Education students. In the 2025-2026 school year, these groups jumped from the bottom 10% to the top 50% in the state, a dramatic turnaround not seen at other struggling nearby schools like Reagan Elementary or San Jacinto Elementary. The school also spends more per student ($9,747) than top-performing peers, indicating a higher investment of resources.

Despite this progress, Bradford faces critical challenges. Mathematics is a major weakness, with only 11% of 4th graders and 24% of 5th graders proficient in math—roughly half the district average. The school’s performance has also been highly volatile, with overall rankings bouncing between the 1st and 17th percentile over the past decade. The success with ELL and Special Education students proves that targeted, effective programs can work even in a high-poverty setting, but the school must now scale these strategies to improve outcomes for all students, with an urgent focus on math instruction.
