GreatSchools Rating
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've been at bradford since the 3rd grade and it's been an overall adequate experience. it is still a newer school, being only 11 years old, so some of it is just growing pains. there have of course been ups and downs for a variety of reasons, some of which just being because growing through elementary, middle, and now high school can be difficult. the hardest part about bradford i would say are the yearly policy changes. again though, i believe this is a fairly direct result of the growing pains that come with being a new school, and i believe these policies changes will decrease the older the school gets.

Came in during 5th year of existence. Now BP has been in existence for 10 years and I am graduating. It is a Safe and challenging school. I have been here for lots of Major changes. New High School Building, Athletic Center and Football/Track/Soccer complex. I have grown as a student and an Athlete. I consider myself lucky for finding this Hidden Gem .
