Bridgeprep Academy Charter

Summary:

Bridgeprep Academy Charter is a public charter elementary and middle school in Orlando, Florida, serving 309 students from kindergarten through 8th grade. While part of the Orange County School District, which is ranked 31 out of 68 districts in Florida, Bridgeprep Academy Charter has consistently underperformed compared to nearby public schools.

Bridgeprep Academy Charter has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 40% to 46.8% over the past 5 years, compared to 29.9% to 46.4% at nearby schools like Ventura Elementary, Conway Elementary, and Chickasaw Elementary. The school's test scores are also much lower, with only 26% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts and 13% proficient in math, compared to 57% and 62% in the district, respectively. Additionally, Bridgeprep Academy Charter has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Florida elementary schools over the past 5 years, receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The high rates of chronic absenteeism and free and reduced lunch (66.99% to 71.38%) at Bridgeprep Academy Charter may be contributing factors to the school's low academic performance. To improve student outcomes, the school will need to address these challenges and implement significant changes to its educational program, attendance policies, and support services for students and families.

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.
