Bridgeport Middle School

Summary:

Bridgeport Middle School is a public middle school in Bridgeport, Alabama, serving 122 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the Jackson County School District, which is ranked 59 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Bridgeport Middle School stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in English/Language Arts and 8th grade science, where it consistently outperforms the county and state averages. However, the school struggles with 5th grade mathematics proficiency, an area that warrants further attention. Despite having a high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds (around 68-69%), Bridgeport Middle School has consistently ranked highly for the performance of its low socioeconomic status students, indicating the school's ability to support and uplift these students. The school's student population is predominantly White (around 72-77%), which reflects the local community, but the school could explore ways to further diversify its student body and ensure equitable opportunities for all students.

Compared to the closest comparable school, Stevenson Middle School, Bridgeport Middle School has stronger academic performance across most subject areas and grade levels. This suggests that Bridgeport Middle School may be employing more effective teaching strategies or have access to additional resources that contribute to its stronger outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
