Bridgeport Elementary

Summary:

Bridgeport Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Bridgeport, Washington, part of the Bridgeport School District, which is ranked 236 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Bridgeport Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Washington elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Bridgeport Elementary stands out for its extremely high Hispanic student population, ranging from 94.81% to 96.35% over the past few years, significantly higher than nearby schools like Morgen Owings Elementary, Pateros Elementary, and Brewster Elementary, which have more diverse student populations. Academically, Bridgeport Elementary students perform significantly below the state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science proficiency across all grade levels, with only 9.09% of students proficient or better in ELA in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 52.63%.

Bridgeport Elementary also has an extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 83.06% to 95.14% over the past few years, much higher than the nearby schools. Despite a significant increase in spending per student, from $10,604 in 2019-2020 to $17,281 in 2021-2022, and a decrease in student-teacher ratio, from 21.4 in 2020-2021 to 14.4 in 2022-2023, the school's academic performance has not improved, suggesting that simply increasing funding and reducing class sizes may not be enough to address the underlying issues at the school.

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.
