Garrett Elementary

Jennifer Darragh was my child's teacher. She messaged me on DOJO because my kid wasn't following what she was teaching. She asked if my child had a head injury or ADHD. Imagine saying that to a parent of your student. He had neither. He needed glasses and had expressed he couldn't see the board. She accused him in front of his classmates of drinking all the water because he asked for a bottle and she forgot to give it to him so he waited 3 hours and worked up the courage to ask a 2nd time. I sent his own case of waters so not to further agitate his adult teacher. She told him he couldn't sharpen his pencil and when he was shoved 3 days in a row during reading group, she would not move him to another group despite bullying. The school refused to move his class, so we pulled him out of school as my child was being bullied by his own teacher and I needed to know he was OK and considered for 6 hours a day. That same child is now in GCA, 4H, Junior Civitans, plays sports, and maintains straight As. I will never forget this experience because Jennifer Darragh leaves a stark contrast between herself and every other educator that my child has ever had. If your kid gets Jennifer Darragh- RUN!!!!!!!!!! She is not only a bad educator, she is incredibly cruel. Look into her history.

My son and I recently toured Bradford Academy while considering options for his 10th grade year, and we were thoroughly impressed. Amy, the Parent Ambassador, provided an exceptional tour that showcased everything this school has to offer.The commitment to Christian values is evident throughout the campus and in every interaction we had with staff. The facilities are well-maintained, and the academic programs appear robust and well-designed. What stood out most was the genuine care and attention the staff showed during our visit - you can tell they truly invest in their students' success.When we're ready to move to Mebane, Bradford Academy will absolutely be our first choice. Any family seeking a quality Christian education should seriously consider this school. The combination of strong academics, Christian foundation, and caring community makes it an excellent choice for students and families who value faith-based education.Highly recommended!

I can’t possibly list all the wonderful attributes of this lovely school! Our son and daughter have been attending Bradford for nearly three years, and for the first time in their school lives, they are genuinely excited about going to school. The classical education format is both engaging and challenging. The teachers are exceptionally knowledgeable, well-prepared, and highly educated. The school staff truly cares about the students as individuals. My kids feel loved, appreciated, and respected. The curriculum is unapologetically God-centered, and the school environment is family-oriented, with many teachers having their own children enrolled. Students are gradually given more responsibilities and freedom as they mature. They also have plenty of opportunities to participate in sports and develop their athletic abilities. Families are actively engaged in sports events, family gatherings, school recitals, and more. As I mentioned at the beginning, I can’t possibly cover all the good things about this school.
