Bradshaw Elementary School

Summary:

Bradshaw Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 272 students in grades PK-5 in Bradshaw, West Virginia, which is part of the McDowell County Schools district. The school has consistently underperformed compared to state and county averages, with proficiency rates significantly lower than the state and county in core subjects like math and reading.

Bradshaw Elementary has a very low statewide ranking, placing in the bottom 20% of West Virginia elementary schools over the past several years. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, with the school's rankings for female students, White students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds all in the bottom 20-25% of the state. In contrast, nearby schools like Huff Cons Elementary & Middle School and Fall River Elementary School in the Wyoming County Schools district outperform Bradshaw Elementary on most academic measures.

The lack of racial diversity at Bradshaw Elementary, with a 100% White student population, is noteworthy and may be indicative of broader demographic trends in the region. The high percentage of students from low-income families at the school (over 67%) may also be a contributing factor to its academic struggles, as research has shown that students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds often face additional challenges that can impact their educational outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
