Summary:
The 06604 zip code of Bridgeport, Connecticut is home to 6 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 1 alternative school serving grades K-12. While the schools serve a diverse student population with high rates of economic disadvantage, there are significant disparities in academic performance, with some schools significantly outperforming the district and state averages.
The standout schools in this area are Capital Preparatory Harbor School, a public charter school that excels in English Language Arts, math, and science, and Classical Studies Academy, a public elementary school that earns a top 1-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger and outperforms the Bridgeport School District and Connecticut state averages on many test metrics, particularly in English Language Arts.

The wide disparities in academic outcomes among these schools suggest significant inequities in educational opportunities and resources, despite the high rates of economic disadvantage across the student populations. Further analysis would be needed to understand the factors driving these differences, such as the role of school type, funding allocation, and teaching quality, in order to ensure all students in the 06604 zip code have access to a high-quality education.
