Overall, the schools in Bridge City demonstrate a mix of academic strengths and areas for improvement, with Bridge City High School and Bridge City Intermediate standing out as the top performers.
Bridge City High School boasts a high 4-year graduation rate of 97.3% and a low dropout rate of 0.1%, along with strong performance on STAAR End-of-Course exams, particularly in Biology, English, and U.S. History. In contrast, Bridge City Middle School lags behind in Mathematics proficiency, falling significantly below district and state averages. Bridge City Intermediate also demonstrates consistent academic excellence, with students exceeding district and state averages in Reading and Mathematics.
The data suggests potential equity concerns, as the higher free/reduced lunch rates at the elementary and intermediate schools indicate that these campuses serve a more economically disadvantaged student population compared to the high school. Additionally, the significant drop in enrollment from the elementary schools to the middle school raises questions about student transitions between school levels. Overall, the Bridge City Independent School District should closely examine the factors contributing to the academic performance disparities between the schools and work to ensure equitable access and support for all students.
