Editing Bradford, Tennessee (section)

==Education==

Bradford is served by the Bradford Special School District.  A "Special School District" is defined as a district independently run by the district itself, instead of by a county school system.  In the late 1970s, consolidation in the area threatened to combine Bradford into the Gibson County Special School District, which was being formed at the time by other smaller towns in Gibson County, but the city voted to retain their own high school, and thus the Bradford Special School District was formed.

All schools in Bradford are located on one campus.  The buildings are separated with Bradford Elementary School located on the southeastern side of the campus, and Bradford Junior-Senior High School located on the western side of the campus.

There are no colleges or universities in Bradford.  The only college with a campus in Gibson County is the Dyersburg State Community College satellite campus in Trenton, approximately {{convert|10|mi}} away.  The closest colleges are the University of Tennessee at Martin (located in Martin to the north), Bethel University (located in McKenzie to the Northeast), as well as several colleges and universities in Jackson, Tennessee (located to the south).
