Summary:

The Bridgeton High School has a low 4-year graduation rate of 82.7% and a dropout rate of 2.6%, both well below state averages. In contrast, Broad Street School stands out with the lowest student-teacher ratio among the elementary schools, potentially indicating more individualized attention for students.

Despite the district's overall struggles, the data reveals pockets of relative strength, such as the high proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics at Indian Ave School. These insights suggest that there may be opportunities to learn from the practices of the stronger-performing schools and apply them more broadly across the district to drive meaningful improvements for the students of Bridgeton City.
