2025 26 State Performance Results Release, September 2, 2026

Dear Bradford Families,

We are proud to share outstanding news about our school’s performance on the 2025–26 North Carolina School Report Card as released today by the State Board of Education and NCDPI.

Bradford Prep earned an overall school performance grade of B and Exceeded Expected academic growth. These results mark the highest scores in our school’s history, a huge milestone that reflects the hard work, commitment, and partnership of our entire school community.

Exceeding growth means that, as a school, our students made more academic progress than the state’s growth model predicted for the year. This achievement reflects the dedication of our teachers and staff, the perseverance of our students, and the essential support from our families.

While we celebrate this accomplishment, we remain focused on the work ahead. We will continue to strengthen instruction, support students’ needs, and pursue even higher levels of achievement for all learners.

Thank you for trusting us with your children and for being such an important part of Bradford Prep. We are grateful for your continued partnership and proud of what our students, staff, and families have accomplished together.

Sincerely,

Stephen Gay Executive Director
