Bridge View Special Education

Summary:

Bridge View Special Education is an alternative public school in Saint Paul, Minnesota that serves 114 students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of African American and Asian students.

While Bridge View has a very low student-teacher ratio, the school faces significant challenges. Its four-year graduation rates have been extremely low in recent years, ranging from 0% to 10%, far below the state average of over 50%. Bridge View students also perform well below state and district averages on standardized tests, with only 16.36% of students proficient or better in math compared to 45.47% statewide. The school has an exceptionally high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of poverty among the student population.

These issues are not unique to Rivereast Program and Juvenile Service Center, two other alternative schools in the Saint Paul Public Schools district that serve similar student demographics. This suggests that the challenges facing Bridge View are systemic within the district's alternative school programs, likely due to factors such as trauma, mental health needs, and lack of resources. Targeted interventions and specialized support services may be necessary to help these vulnerable students succeed.

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.
