Bradley school was a great school when I attended and it is even better now. The teachers are very caring and are helping our town climb the ladder of success. My daughters go there now and love Bradley school. Bradley School is celebrating 50 Years this year.

The staff and help at Bradley School is great! I love the fact that they have a no tolerance policy. If you have a situation or problem, they fix it right away. I love the fact that they have full day kindergarten...she learned so much in that year. It has helped her move on in a much faster pace. I also love their PTA group...they work so hard to provide many fun things for our children. So, in a nut shell...Bradely School is the best! :)

This is a good school with a great principal and super PTA. The superintendent and principal are working really hard to improve the academic programs. They also have started many after school enrichment programs. My kids love it there!

Great School with a wonderful and caring principal! Always striving to make improvements and grow stronger. The PTA is super! Wish the kids could have more gym time, but working on it.

About the tests


In 2008-2009 Connecticut used the Connecticut Mastery Test (CMT) to test students' skills in reading, writing and math in grades 3 through 8, and in science in grades 5 and 8. The CMT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Connecticut.
