Bradford Elementary School is run by an excellent principal and vice principal. The teachers and staff are dedicated to educating and doing what is best for each individual student, and many parents are involved in school activities.

Bradford Elementary is such a wonderful place. The staff is excellent and there are so many activities offered for the older children in the school. Some of the teachers are so dedicated outside of school hours - you will see these teachers at all school events volunteering their time for the good of the kids. My children had terrific experiences with many of the teachers in third, fourth, and most recently, especially in fifth grade (a very dedicated teacher there!)... Many parents have pulled their children from this school because of the bad reputation of the district ... don't do it. Once your child attends here, you will understand why!

Terrific school! Most of the staff is amazing! I was very happy with my child's fourth and fifth grade teachers.

My Daughter started 3rd grade @ Bradford Elem. The teachers, principal, mentors, all that makes this school a whole are terrific. Very involved in each student's interest and parent/teacher communication cannot compare to any other school.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Massachusetts used the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) to test students in grades 3 though 8 and 10 in English language arts and math and in grades 5, 8, and 10 in science. The grade 10 MCAS is a high school graduation requirement. The MCAS is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Massachusetts. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
