Summary:
The data set provided focuses on a single elementary school located in Bradford, Tennessee - Bradford Elementary. This school serves students from grades K-5 and is the only elementary school in the Bradford school district.
While there are no clear standout schools to highlight, the analysis of Bradford Elementary reveals a mixed performance. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, going from 379 out of 1,000 Tennessee elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 456 out of 1,008 in 2023-2024, despite maintaining a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (36.1%) and English Language Arts (42%) are slightly below the state averages of 39.7% and 37.6%, respectively, while its Science proficiency rate (46.2%) is slightly above the state average of 44%.
On a positive note, Bradford Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13:1, which is lower than the state average. However, the school's spending per student of $10,919 is higher than the state average, and it's unclear if this additional funding is translating into improved academic outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that Bradford Elementary is a relatively average-performing school in Tennessee, with some areas of strength and others that could benefit from further improvement.
