Summary

Bridgeport Elementary School in Bridgeport, AL, is a small, welcoming school serving 224 students in grades PK through 4 as part of the Jackson County district. This school has become a standout success story, recently jumping to a 4-star rating and ranking in the 72nd percentile statewide—a remarkable turnaround from just a year prior.

What truly sets Bridgeport Elementary apart is its combination of strong academics and an incredibly engaged student body. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is just 5.1%, less than half the state average, meaning your child will be in a classroom with peers who are consistently present and ready to learn. Academically, the school shines in English Language Arts, with 3rd and 4th graders scoring well above both district and state averages. The most dramatic improvement came in 4th-grade science, which skyrocketed from 20% proficiency to nearly 65% in a single year. Even more impressive, the school is particularly effective at supporting students from low-income backgrounds, with this subgroup performing in the 74th percentile statewide—higher than the school's overall ranking. This shows a genuine commitment to helping every child succeed, regardless of circumstance.

Compared to nearby options, Bridgeport is a clear leader. While Stevenson Elementary School also performs well, Bridgeport posts notably higher proficiency in both 4th-grade math (52.94% vs. 44.64%) and English (73.53% vs. 62.5%). The contrast is even starker with Bryant School and Rosalie Elementary School, where Bridgeport's math scores are nearly double and its absenteeism rate is over three times lower. The only area for potential focus is 3rd-grade math, which, while above the state average, trails the district. Overall, Bridgeport Elementary offers a supportive, high-achieving environment that is clearly on an upward trajectory.
