The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I did not particularly enjoy my time spent at this school. There is not very many opportunities or activities for students other than music, student council, or athletics. I would like to see a change in that so that more students can enjoy their experience

Bradford Area High School places strong focus on the academic courses at the school, however the courses still lack a challenging aspect. I often leave the class confused, frustrated, and hadn't learned anything. This school also has a 'reactive instead of proactive' mindset when it comes to disciplining students.

I loved all of the staff that worked at BAHS. They all made personal connections and actually cared about their students. On the other hand, when anything went wrong in the building the faculty didn't try to find the issue and eliminate it. Which I understand can be very difficult but they could at least try.

Compared to any other high school between State College and Erie, this is by far the best high school.
