Bridgeprep Academy

Summary:

Bridgeprep Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 512 students in grades K-8 in Jacksonville, Florida, which is part of the Duval school district, ranked 54 out of 68 districts in the state with a 1-star rating.

Bridgeprep Academy stands out for several key reasons. The school has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (50.98%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 21.63% to 41.47% Hispanic students. However, the school's academic performance consistently underperforms the Duval district and state averages across standardized tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 13% to 42% in English Language Arts and 16% to 42% in Math, compared to Duval's 42% to 49% in ELA and 36% to 56% in Math. Additionally, Bridgeprep Academy has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 26.5% to 38.6%, significantly higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 35.5% to 62.1%. The school also serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 53.12% to 57.41% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the school's increased spending per student, from $7,209 in 2019-2020 to $12,021 in 2022-2023, Bridgeprep Academy has not seen a corresponding improvement in academic outcomes. In contrast, the nearby River City Science Elementary Academy, another public charter school, outperforms Bridgeprep Academy across multiple academic measures, despite serving a similar demographic of students. This highlights the potential for charter schools to provide high-quality education when implemented effectively, a challenge that Bridgeprep Academy seems to be struggling with.

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.
