Summary:
The city of Bridgeport, New York has only one public school serving grades PK-4, Bridgeport Elementary School. While the school has a relatively high percentage of white students (91.88%), its academic performance, as measured by state assessment scores, is below the Chittenango Central School District and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math for grades 3 and 4.
Bridgeport Elementary School's enrollment is 234 students, and it spends $13,129 per student, which is relatively high. However, the school's academic performance is concerning, with only 46.88% of 3rd graders and 25.81% of 4th graders proficient in ELA, compared to district averages of 42.5% and 42.37%, respectively. In Math, only 40.63% of 3rd graders and 33.33% of 4th graders are proficient, compared to district averages of 52.1% and 52.99%.
The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 1016 out of 2434 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1755 out of 2439 in 2022-2023, indicating a concerning trend of declining performance. While the school's high percentage of white students and relatively high funding suggest that factors other than resources may be contributing to the academic struggles, further investigation into the school's teaching practices, curriculum, and student support services may be warranted to identify areas for improvement and help the school better serve its students.
