Welcome to the Bradley County Schools Website!
It is my pleasure to greet you on behalf of the Bradley County Board of Education and the many wonderful teachers, administrators, and support personnel in our system. It is our goal to provide the very best educational opportunities and experiences for our students. An indicator of a school system’s success can be linked to the graduation rate. I am proud to report that the graduation rate for Bradley County Schools as reported on the 2012 Report Card is 93.9% which is above the state average. We work every day to be a welcoming center of educational excellence with a determined focus on the development of every student. In an atmosphere of mutual respect and high expectations, we teach our students the skills and knowledge they need in the 21st Century to be lifelong learners and productive citizens.

Information about the 11 elementary schools, two middle schools (Lake Forest Middle and Ocoee Middle), 2 high schools (Bradley Central and Walker Valley), REACH Adult High School and GOAL Academy can be found at the "schools link" on the home page.
