Bridgeway Elementary

Summary:

Bridgeway Elementary is a public elementary school located in Bridgeton, Missouri, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 456 students. The school is part of the Pattonville R-III school district, which is ranked 169 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bridgeway Elementary consistently outperforms the Pattonville R-III district and the state of Missouri in standardized test scores, particularly in mathematics, where 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade proficiency rates are consistently above the district and state averages. The school also has a strong track record of supporting the academic achievement of specific student subgroups, such as African American, White, and Multi-racial students, with the African American students ranking among the top 5-16 elementary schools in Missouri. Additionally, Bridgeway has seen a decrease in chronic absenteeism rates over the past few years, from 24.0% in 2022-2023 to 12.7% in 2023-2024.

While Bridgeway Elementary outperforms the nearby schools within the Pattonville R-III district, such as Robert Drummond Elementary, Rose Acres Elementary, and Parkwood Elementary, its performance is not as dominant when compared to schools in the higher-performing Parkway C-2 district, such as McKelvey Intermediate. However, Bridgeway's effective use of resources and funding to drive student success, despite having a significant population of low-socioeconomic status students, is a noteworthy aspect of its overall success.

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.
