Best Public Schools in Bridgeport, AL

Summary:

The city of Bridgeport, Alabama is home to two schools: Bridgeport Elementary School and Bridgeport Middle School. Based on the available data, Bridgeport Middle School appears to be the standout performer in the Bridgeport school district, consistently ranking higher than the elementary school in statewide rankings and maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bridgeport Middle School outperforms Bridgeport Elementary School and the Jackson County and state averages in several key subject areas, particularly in mathematics and English language arts. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 48% of 7th graders at Bridgeport Middle School were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to just 25.27% in the county and 23.6% statewide. Additionally, Bridgeport Middle School spends significantly more per student ($15,280) than Bridgeport Elementary School ($10,210), which may contribute to its stronger academic outcomes.

However, both schools face challenges, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the Bridgeport community. Additionally, while both schools have a majority white student population, Bridgeport Middle School has a significantly higher percentage of Native American students (13.93%) compared to Bridgeport Elementary (5.75%), which could be an interesting area for further exploration.
