Open Quote Amazing students, parents and staff! BridgePrep
of West Palm Beach is an innovative school that uses onsite agricultural resources including animals for an immersive STEM based curriculum. Teachers are kind, caring and very patient. The school principal Mr. Sirota is highly visible and knows all of his students by their first name. Beautiful new building that is well kept, clean and every classroom has a SMART board and integrated classroom technology. The school follows all current educational standards, curriculum in a small classroom environment. I highly recommend BPA of West Palm Beach in Delray Beach! Close Quote

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.
