Summary

Park City Prep Charter School is a middle school located in Bridgeport, Connecticut, serving grades 4-8 with a total enrollment of 403 students. The school is part of the Park City Prep Charter School District, which is ranked 127 out of 156 districts in Connecticut and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Park City Prep Charter School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Connecticut middle schools, typically between 128-159 out of 250-275 schools. The school's performance on SBAC/English Language Arts and SBAC/Mathematics assessments is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 25-55% across different grade levels and years. However, the school performs relatively well in certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, where it ranks among the top 10-30 middle schools in the state. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 16.1% to 20.0% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 74-76% in recent years, indicating a high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Compared to nearby public schools, such as Harry B. Flood Middle School, Hillcrest Middle School, and Roger Ludlowe Middle School, Park City Prep Charter School generally underperforms on academic measures, with lower proficiency rates and worse statewide rankings. These nearby public schools also tend to have lower chronic absenteeism rates, lower percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and lower student-teacher ratios compared to Park City Prep Charter School. The relatively lower spending per student and higher student-teacher ratio at Park City Prep Charter School may be contributing to its overall academic challenges.
