Summary:
The 35740 zip code area is home to two schools - Bridgeport Elementary School and Bridgeport Middle School, both serving students in Jackson County, Alabama.
Based on the available data, Bridgeport Middle School appears to be the standout school in this area. The middle school consistently ranks higher than the elementary school in the statewide SchoolDigger rankings, reaching as high as 47th out of 442 Alabama middle schools. Bridgeport Middle School also outperforms the elementary school and county/state averages in English/Language Arts test scores, though both schools struggle with math proficiency. The middle school serves a potentially more advantaged student population, with a lower percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch compared to the elementary school.
However, the significant difference in per-student spending between the two schools is noteworthy, with Bridgeport Middle School spending $15,280 per student compared to $10,210 at the elementary school. This may contribute to the middle school's better academic outcomes, but the higher student-teacher ratio at the middle school could be a potential area of concern. Overall, the data suggests that Bridgeport Middle School is the more effective school in this area, but further analysis would be needed to fully understand the drivers of these differences and their implications for student success.
