Bridge Street Elementary

Summary:

Bridge Street Elementary is a public elementary school in Los Angeles, California, serving 188 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, which is ranked 871 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bridge Street Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates that have risen from 15.2% in 2017-2018 to 50.0% in 2021-2022, well above the district and state averages. The school also consistently underperforms the district and state on standardized tests, with only 23.08% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 26.32% in Mathematics, compared to 43.06% and 32.83% for the district, respectively. Additionally, Bridge Street Elementary has an exceptionally high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients, reaching 98.33% in 2020-2021, indicating a high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Second Street Elementary, which is located just 0.55 miles away, Bridge Street Elementary generally performs worse on standardized tests and has higher chronic absenteeism rates. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.3 to 14.4 students per teacher, suggests that there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and personalized support to improve student 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.

Since my son has been attending this school there has not been a school wide parent meeting. I never met the principle until my son was accused of wrong doing. No wonder parents are not involved because the staff is not involved. I am glad my son will no longer attend this school. Close Quote

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.
