Bradford Cumberland Presbyterian Church is located on the old Highway 45 across from the school.

Apostolic Faith is a Pentecostal church located near the northern city limits.

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.

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.
