Summary:
Bridges Preparatory Academy is the sole middle school in the Bridges Preparatory Academy District located in Compton, California. With an enrollment of 118 students in grades 6-8, the school has struggled to meet the academic standards of the state, particularly in core subject areas like English Language Arts/Literacy and Science.
Bridges Preparatory Academy has a fluctuating statewide ranking, going from 2081 out of 2802 California middle schools in 2022-2023 to 1257 out of 2777 in 2023-2024, and is rated only 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are generally below the statewide averages, with only 39.1% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 34.62% in Mathematics at the end-of-course level. Additionally, the school's Science proficiency rate of 13.73% is significantly lower than the statewide average of 30.7%.
Despite these academic challenges, Bridges Preparatory Academy has a commendable chronic absenteeism rate of 0.0% in 2022-2023, indicating that the school has been effective in keeping students engaged and attending classes. However, the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio of 23.6 may be impacting the quality of instruction and individual attention students receive. Additionally, with over 60% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may present unique challenges and require targeted support.
