Summary
Bridge Street Elementary is a K–5 school in Yuba City, California, serving 480 students in Yuba City Unified. Its most pressing concern is low achievement across subjects: in 2025–26, 23% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 16% in math and 20% in science. ELA and math results were especially weak compared with nearby schools, the district and the state.
Science is Bridge Street’s relative strength, while ELA and math lag. Districtwide proficiency was 37% in ELA, 25% in math and 24% in science; statewide, it was 49%, 38% and 36%, respectively. Bridge Street was 15 points below the district and 27 below the state in ELA, and 9 and 22 points below in math. Among six nearby K–5 schools with results, Bridge Street had the second-lowest ELA and math scores; peer averages were 34% and 29%, putting Bridge Street 11 and 13 points below. In science, Bridge Street’s 20.0% was just above the peer average of 19.7%, though it remained below the district and state.
Results over time show strong science improvement but a worsening math comparison with the state. From 2022–23 to 2025–26, science rose from 7% to 20%, while math slipped from 17% to 16% and its state gap widened from 17 to 22 points. ELA rose from 20% to 23%, with its state gap staying about 27 points. SchoolDigger ranked Bridge Street 5,292 of 5,804 schools statewide in 2025–26, at the 9th percentile with zero stars. Chronic absenteeism improved from 29% in 2022–23 to 19% in 2025–26, but remained above the district’s 16% and state’s 18%. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 22.2, around the middle of nearby schools; its free/reduced lunch eligible measure was 92% that year, an eligibility measure rather than a count of who receives free meals. SchoolDigger’s English Language Learner ranking, which reflects how well the school serves that group, fell from the 41st percentile in 2022–23 to the 22nd in 2023–24, still above the school’s overall 10th percentile that year.
