Bridge City High School

Summary:

Bridge City High School is a public high school serving 894 students in grades 9-12 in Bridge City, Texas, which is part of the Bridge City Independent School District. The school has a higher percentage of white students compared to nearby schools, and its academic performance is generally on par with or slightly below state and district averages, with some notable exceptions.

Bridge City High School outperforms the nearby Vidor High School and West Orange-Stark High School in academic metrics, graduation rates, and dropout rates, but lags behind higher-performing schools like Nederland High School and Orangefield High School. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Gifted and Talented students performing well but Special Education students and underrepresented minority students struggling in comparison to their peers.

To improve, Bridge City High School could focus on addressing the achievement gaps between different student subgroups and developing strategies to maintain a more consistent level of academic excellence, particularly in subjects like Algebra I where the school underperforms the state average. By analyzing the factors contributing to the fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years, the school can work to ensure all students receive the support they need to succeed.

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.
