Bridgeprep Academy Of Tampa

Summary:

Bridgeprep Academy Of Tampa is a public charter elementary and middle school serving 318 students in grades K-8 in Tampa, Florida. The school is located in the Hillsborough school district, which is ranked 45 out of 68 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bridgeprep Academy faces significant challenges, with much higher chronic absenteeism rates (45.8%) compared to the district (26.4%) and state (33.5%) averages. The school also consistently underperforms the Hillsborough district and Florida state on test scores, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math that are 10-20 percentage points lower. Additionally, Bridgeprep Academy has a very high percentage of students (79.25%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students. Despite spending more per student ($10,517) than the district average, the school's academic outcomes do not reflect this higher investment.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Mabry Elementary and Grady Elementary, Bridgeprep Academy performs significantly worse on academic measures, with much higher proficiency rates and 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from 1051 out of 2118 Florida elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 2038 out of 2256 in 2023-2024, placing it in the bottom 10% of elementary schools in the state.

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.
