North Bridge Elementary

Summary:

North Bridge Elementary is a public elementary school in Weslaco, Texas, serving 692 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Weslaco Independent School District, which is ranked 483 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Academically, North Bridge Elementary has struggled, with proficiency rates on STAAR assessments significantly below the district and state averages in reading, math, and science across all grade levels. For example, in 3rd grade reading, North Bridge had a 52.48% proficiency rate, compared to 47.64% for Weslaco ISD and 48.85% for Texas. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools and has a low 1-3 star rating from SchoolDigger. Performance is particularly low for male students, English Language Learners, and students from low-income backgrounds.

While North Bridge Elementary's per-student spending has increased in recent years, its academic results continue to lag behind nearby schools like Cleckler/Heald Elementary and Memorial Elementary, which have higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. The school's high poverty rate, with 92-95% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, is likely a significant factor in its academic challenges. Addressing these performance gaps will be crucial for improving educational outcomes for the students at North Bridge Elementary.

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.
