This school is a hidden treasure. As a choice school not many know about the great arts program it offers and the small class sizes. It is great

This is my second year at Bradley. I like the art program. I like the teachers mostly. I don't like the fact that I am not invited into my childs classroom at anytime. That just seems like bad business. When my children were at daycare there was an open door policy. What are they do and saying to the children that we shouldn't see?

I appreciate the arts integration curriculum. Students get the basics, yet they are taught in very creative ways! The school also has not just physical education, but library, music, instrumental music, drama, and art. Teachers care about the students and their jobs. It is a very positive place to send your child. The after school program goes above and beyond. Children can take art, guitar, drama, and other enrichments.

I have found this to be a very good school with a very caring staff. They all seem to go the extra mile to ensure an excellent education for all their students. Bradley is an excellent place to send your children.Their ESP program is also very good my special needs daughter is enrolled and I feel very comfortable leaving her in their care each afternoon.Overall I am very happy with the education my kindergartner is receiving.

This year, Tennessee introduced two new exams in algebra II and English III, and those results are included on the GreatSchools profile as well. The Gateway/EOC exams are standards-based tests that measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined by the state of Tennessee. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
