Bridgeport Elementary School

Summary:

Bridgeport Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Chittenango Central School District, located in Bridgeport, NY. The school has 234 students and has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking and overall rating over the past several years.

One of Bridgeport Elementary School's notable strengths is its consistent performance for special education students, ranking in the top 30% of New York elementary schools in this category for the past three school years. Additionally, the school has shown relatively stronger math proficiency compared to English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with its 4th-grade math proficiency rate at 48.48% in 2023-2024, compared to 46.88% in ELA. However, the school faces challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement, as evidenced by its varying statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating. Bridgeport Elementary School also has a higher percentage of low socioeconomic status (SES) students compared to nearby schools, which may be contributing to its overall performance challenges.

When compared to other schools in the Chittenango Central School District and the North Syracuse Central School District, Bridgeport Elementary School's performance is generally on par or slightly below average. For example, Bolivar Road Elementary School and Woodland Elementary School have outperformed Bridgeport in both ELA and math proficiency in recent years. The school's fluctuating performance and socioeconomic challenges suggest that there may be opportunities for collaboration and the sharing of best practices to improve overall outcomes.

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.
