Blackham School

Summary:

Blackham School is an elementary school in Bridgeport, Connecticut, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 1,068 students. The school is part of the Bridgeport School District, which is ranked 152 out of 158 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Blackham School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Connecticut elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Blackham School faces significant challenges, including a student population that is 60.58% Hispanic, 21.72% African American, and only 11.89% White, compared to the state's elementary school population, which is 49.1% White, 19.1% Hispanic, and 12.1% African American. Academically, the school's performance is far below state and district averages, with only 15% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, and just 10.1% of 3rd-graders and 7.8% of 8th-graders meeting or exceeding math standards, compared to state averages of 45.9%, 51.3%, and 38.2%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly concerning for African American and English Language Learner students, who rank among the lowest in the state. Additionally, 74.44% of Blackham School students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the state average.

While the challenges facing Blackham School are not unique to the school, as several other Bridgeport School District schools struggle with low test scores and poor rankings, the district's magnet schools, such as Park City Magnet School and Interdistrict Discovery Magnet School, demonstrate significantly higher academic achievement. Additionally, a comparison to a school in a neighboring, higher-performing district, such as Stratfield School in Fairfield, highlights the stark differences in academic performance, with Stratfield consistently outperforming Blackham School and the state averages on standardized tests.

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.

I went to Blackham in 2012-2014. The school was so bad that my mother switched me to another school in Bridgeport. I heard the teachers call a student "dummy". I also her one of the teachers call a parent a bit#h. It probably changed but I highly doubt it. 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.
