Bridgeprep Academy Of Polk

Summary:

Bridgeprep Academy Of Polk is a public charter elementary and middle school in Davenport, Florida, serving 422 students in grades K-8. However, the school faces significant challenges, with consistently lower test scores, higher chronic absenteeism, and a larger percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch compared to the surrounding Polk district and the state of Florida.

Bridgeprep Academy Of Polk's test scores lag behind not only the Polk district and Florida state averages, but also nearby schools like Davenport School Of The Arts, which outperforms Bridgeprep across multiple metrics. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 45.1% is alarmingly high, more than double the state average. Additionally, 44.08% of Bridgeprep's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, higher than the Polk district average.

Despite spending a similar amount per student as other schools in the area, Bridgeprep's performance lags behind, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and student engagement, may be contributing to the school's challenges. When compared to schools outside the Polk district, such as Celebration School and Water Spring Elementary, Bridgeprep's performance is even more stark, with significantly higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and higher statewide rankings at these other schools.

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.
