Bridge Boston Charter School

Summary:

Bridge Boston Charter School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, with a diverse student population. Despite the school's high per-student spending and small class sizes, it has consistently performed in the bottom quartile of Massachusetts elementary schools, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

The school's academic performance, as measured by MCAS proficiency rates, is significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 26.2% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 39.17%. In mathematics, the school's proficiency rate was 33.16%, compared to the state average of 40.91%. However, the school's African American and Hispanic students perform better than the state averages for those subgroups, ranking in the top 3 and top 4 schools in the state, respectively. Conversely, the school's English Language Learner and Special Education students perform significantly worse than their peers, ranking in the bottom quartile of schools in the state.

When compared to nearby schools, Hale Elementary School and Conservatory Lab Charter School, which serve similar student populations, generally outperform Bridge Boston Charter School. The school's high per-student spending and small class sizes suggest that resources may not be the primary barrier to improving academic outcomes, and the school may need to focus on strengthening its curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems for struggling students to drive meaningful improvements in student learning and achievement.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
