Bradford Area High School

They do a great job nurturing their students and other students that come in for other schools to participate sports because their schools do not have sports.

Any opportunity, including education, is what you make out of it. As stated elsewhere, Bradford High does well with the resources it is given. The extracurriculars (arts, athletics, and clubs) are superb for the size of the school. The staff, though having some weaknesses, is willing to help and facilitate those who are eager to learn. Just as in all other rural schools there are some problems with discipline and an underachieving student body. However, given a student who is willing to learn and grow BAHS will not disappoint. I'm currently a Senior in Aerospace Engineering at Penn State and I am proud of the academics and opportunities at Bradford High.

Given the limited resources of the area, the school does a good job offering a variety of courses for all tracks.

I think it is truly sad to have school counselors address a room full of parents and students to advise them not to go to college. This is a school where most of the faculty has no idea how to deal with intelligent students, who often misbehave out of sheer boredom. The lack of extracurriculars and advanced classes truly puts these students at a disadvantage once they graduate. Perhaps this is why they are advised not to go to college.

BAHS may have a good sports program and a halfway decent music department, but they've gone through several principals in the last few years and most the students are very rude. Though for students who try it can be good. Most of the teachers try and actually care about what goes on in the classroom. The rules are very relaxed though and most times flexible depending on the student.

BAHS is a very good school to attent. Like almost every other school, however it does have a drug problem. The teachers however are very caring and supporting and encoraging to the students.
