Summary

Bradley Elementary School in Mount Hope, WV, is a mid-sized public school serving 305 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Raleigh County Schools district.

Bradley Elementary is currently at a critical crossroads. While the school has some notable strengths, its overall state ranking has been steadily declining over the past five years, dropping from the 66th percentile to the 34th percentile. This places it in the bottom third of elementary schools statewide, a stark contrast to several of its immediate neighbors. For example, Crescent Elementary and Hollywood Elementary consistently rank in the top 5% of the state, with math proficiency rates around 70-77% compared to Bradley's 39.7%. Even more concerning is the school's 5th-grade science proficiency, which sits at just 19.2%—nearly half the district average and the lowest among all comparable schools in the area.

However, the picture is not entirely bleak. Bradley shows a clear strength in English Language Arts, particularly in the upper grades. Both 5th-grade ELA (57.5%) and 4th-grade ELA (53.5%) actually exceed district averages, and the school's overall ELA proficiency (50.8%) is above the state average. The school also demonstrates relative stability in supporting its Special Education students, who have consistently performed better than the school's overall ranking. The most significant challenges lie in mathematics and in serving specific student groups—particularly low-income students and male students, whose performance rankings have dropped dramatically in recent years. For parents considering this school, it's important to know that while Bradley has pockets of success, particularly in literacy and special education, the school is struggling to maintain momentum in math and science, and its downward trajectory stands in sharp contrast to the high-performing schools just a few miles away.
