Bradley Middle School Profile
Francis Bradley Middle School has a diverse student and staff population. Presently, we have 1,058 students enrolled— 28.2% African-American students, 55.4% White students, 10.5% Hispanic, 2.8% Asian and about 2% of our students come from other races and ethnicities. In the last five years our school has continued to become more and more diverse. Although we consider all of our students to be talented in some way, we have approximately 14.4% of our students in the program for the gifted. We have six classes of self-contained exceptional children (four Autistic classrooms, and two SAC classrooms). There are approximately 130 total exceptional children serviced by 5 EC and 12 general education inclusion teachers. Bradley Middle School also serves about 32 LEP students and these students are accommodated through an ESL program in which students are either enrolled in an ESL class or monitored and supported if they are mainstreamed in regular education classes.
Our overall school proficiency results increased from 59.4% in 2013-2014 to 66.3% (CCR) in 2014-2015. Our overall growth index increased from -4.8 in 2012-2013 to +7.14 in 2014-2015 and our school Exceeded Expected Growth for the second year in a row. Student achievement at Francis Bradley Middle continues to be of a high quality in many areas including mathematics; however, there are areas in which improvement is necessary, particularly with our SWD, LEP and African American student subgroups. We will strategically work with these subgroups of students by providing support and interventions as well as professional development for our staff. EC students will receive additional support through the implementation of Fusion, Trans Math and V Math Programs. They will also receive Learning Lab support to focus on additional support in all content areas. ELL students will receive support from the ESL teacher during the Elective Block and will also be included in the Novice Language Lab during Lab Experiences.
Reading and math will continue to be a major focus for our school as we will use targeted small group instruction, the MTSS process, and data driven instruction to meet the needs of all learners. Students will receive intervention or enrichment support through our Lab Experiences and we are implementing the Cambridge Program this year in 8th grade to provide a high level of rigor to 47 honors students. Francis Bradley Middle offers a variety of experiences and opportunities to meet the unique needs of our students. The climate and culture at our school is inviting and nurturing but we continue to look for ways to continuously improve it. We are continuing to develop partnerships with parents and community alike. Communication with parents and/or guardians is given high priority by the entire school staff. Parents are encouraged to visit classes and view instructional practices/assessments. In addition, parents have multiple avenues of communication with their children’s teachers via email, webpages, phone and/or student agendas.
