The 19405 zip code is home to a single school, Bridgeport Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 4th grade. The school is part of the Upper Merion Area School District and has a student population of 266, with a diverse racial makeup and a high percentage of students (75.56%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Academically, Bridgeport Elementary School's performance on the PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) tests has been mixed, with some subject areas, like science, performing better than the district and state averages, while others, like English Language Arts, lag behind. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 813 out of 1,534 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1,017 out of 1,433 in 2020-2021. The school's relatively high per-student spending of $29,270 and low student-to-teacher ratio of 10.3 to 1 suggest a focus on providing ample resources and personalized attention to students, though the effectiveness of this resource allocation in driving improved academic performance remains to be seen.

Overall, Bridgeport Elementary School faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and its academic performance has been variable, with strengths in some subject areas and weaknesses in others. The school's resource allocation and focus on smaller class sizes may be a strength, but continued efforts to improve curriculum and instruction will be crucial to ensure more consistent and equitable academic outcomes for all students.
