Bridgeprep Academy Collier

Summary:

Bridgeprep Academy Collier is a public charter elementary and middle school in Naples, Florida, serving 232 students from kindergarten through 8th grade. While the school is part of the highly-ranked Collier County School District, it faces some significant challenges compared to nearby public schools.

One key difference is the school's racial makeup, with a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (59.91%) compared to the nearby Osceola Elementary School (41.06%) and Shadowlawn Elementary School (78.5%). Academically, Bridgeprep Academy Collier consistently underperforms the Collier County and Florida state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates around 30-40% in English Language Arts and Math, compared to the Collier County averages of 53-72%. The school also has a much higher chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 14% to 32.3%, compared to the nearby schools, which have rates between 6.3% and 22.6%.

Additionally, Bridgeprep Academy Collier serves a more economically disadvantaged population, with 56.58% to 78.02% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, compared to the nearby schools, which have rates between 15.6% and 72.21%. Despite this, the school spends less per student, ranging from $8,891 to $12,542 per year, compared to the nearby public schools, which spend between $13,867 and $18,665 per student. These factors suggest that Bridgeprep Academy Collier may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education for its students.

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.
