Francis Bradley Middle School Shared Beliefs
Students learn in different ways and should be
provided with a variety of instructional approaches to
enhance their learning.
A variety of assessments of learning should provide
students with multiple opportunities to demonstrate
advancement toward mastery.
Students learn best when they are actively engaged
in the learning process.
A safe and physically comfortable environment
promotes student learning.
Teachers, administrators, parents, students, and
community share the responsibility for promoting the
school's mission.
The school needs to function as a learning
organization and provide opportunities for
stakeholders to work as a community for the success
of the school.
Francis Bradley Middle School SMART Goals
Provide a duty-free lunch period for every teacher on a daily basis.
Provide duty-free instructional planning time for every teacher under G.S. 115C-105.27 and -301.1, with the goal of
proving an average of at least five hours of planning time per week, to the maximum extent that the safety and proper
supervision of students may allow during regular student contact hours.
Provide a positive school climate, under CMS regulation JICK-R, by promoting a safe learning environment free of
bullying and harassing behaviors.
Increase the percentage of students meeting the College and Career Ready (CCR) standard on the North Carolina
Reading EOG from 57% to 60% for the 2016-2017 school year.
Increase the school’s Instructional Culture Index from the 57th to at least the 65th percentile as measured by the by the

Francis Bradley Middle School Profile
Francis Bradley Middle School has a diverse student and staff population. Presently, we have 1,065 students enrolled—
30.5% African-American students, 47.4% White students, 13.5% Hispanic, 3.5% Asian and about 5.1% of our students
come from other races and ethnicities. In the last five years our school has continued to become more and more diverse.
We have approximately 14.4% of our students in the program for the gifted. We are in the second year off implementation
of the Cambridge Program at Francis Bradley Middle School which provides a high level of rigor to students in sixth
through eighth grade. There are approximately 90 students per grade level in the Cambridge Program. These students
are grouped together for English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies. We have five classes of self-
contained exceptional children (three Autistic classrooms, and two SAC classrooms). There are approximately 120 total
exceptional children serviced by 5 EC and 12 general education inclusion teachers. Bradley Middle School also serves
about 33 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 growth index increased from +7.14 in 2014-2015 to +8.62 in 2015-2016 and our school Exceeded Expected
Growth for the third year in a row. We successfully met 100% of our AMO targets during the 2015-2016 school year which
is an improvement from the year before. 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 in
Reading.
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. While the climate and culture at our school is inviting and nurturing we
will continue to look for ways to continuously improve it through focusing on Professional Learning for our teachers.
