Summary:

Bridges Preparatory Academy District consists of a single charter middle school, Bridges Preparatory Academy, serving grades 6-8 in Compton, California.

This school stands out for its exceptionally low rate of chronic absenteeism at 4.4%, which is far better than the state average, indicating strong student attendance and engagement. However, academic proficiency in core subjects like English, Math, and Science currently lags behind California averages, with mathematics being a particular area for growth. The school's state ranking has varied significantly over the past three years, showing notable fluctuations in its performance metrics.

An interesting finding is the variation in performance between grade levels; 7th graders have historically outperformed their peers in other grades. With a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and a student-teacher ratio of 29-to-1, the school serves a community where its success in ensuring students come to school regularly is a significant strength, even as it works to improve academic outcomes across all subjects and grades.
