Bridge Preparatory Charter School

Summary:

Bridge Preparatory Charter School is an elementary school located in Staten Island, New York, serving grades 1-5 with a total enrollment of 242 students. The school is part of the Bridge Preparatory Charter School District, which is ranked 828 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bridge Preparatory Charter School consistently underperforms compared to the state and nearby schools on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math ranging from 19.05% to 23.81% in ELA and 22.73% to 36.59% in Math across grades 3-5. This performance places the school in the bottom 10-15% of elementary schools in New York. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as female students, Hispanic students, and low-socioeconomic status students, who all rank in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools in both ELA and Math. However, the school's performance for special education students is relatively stronger, ranking in the top 35% of New York elementary schools.

Despite a significant increase in per-student spending, from $16,632 in the 2020-2021 school year to $21,270 in the 2022-2023 school year, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7 to 8.2 students per teacher, Bridge Preparatory Charter School has not shown significant improvement in its academic performance over the past three school years. The nearby public schools in the New York City Geographic District #31, such as Ps 46 Albert V Maniscalco, Ps 78, and Ps 29 Bardwell, generally outperform Bridge Preparatory Charter School on academic measures. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its instructional strategies and resource allocation to better support 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.

School has good programs and stuff to join and do all year. OG to learn to read is a plus but somethings missing.

Sports, Art, talent show, bucket filler, holiday fun stuff and other special events.

Some kids mad act out , so could be calmer sometimes. Teachers school don’t seem to have the right ways about it yet.
Not 1 teacher has the solution.

5th grade teaching is max volume and speed talkin sometimes buggin, like type triple A, not everything is an alert or problem that needs to be addressed and needs a lecture or be talked about on & on, its unnecessary & extra for learning.
Deal better with bigger things.

School tries hard that’s a good thing.

Went to school here and have siblings there, it’s a family review.

School has great potential Close Quote

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.
