Bridges PCS

Summary:

Bridges PCS is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades PK-5 in the Bridges PCS district of Washington, D.C. With an enrollment of 365 students, the school has consistently underperformed academically, with proficiency rates well below the district average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels.

According to the data, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 8.3% of Bridges PCS students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 37.6% for the district as a whole. The school's Math proficiency rates were also low, with just 9.2% of students meeting or exceeding standards, compared to 26.4% district-wide. This poor academic performance has contributed to the school's declining ranking, dropping from 85 out of 128 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 123 out of 128 in 2024-2025.

Despite the low student achievement, Bridges PCS spends a relatively high amount per student, at $34,782 per pupil in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school maintains a small student-teacher ratio of 9.8 to 1, which is typically considered a positive factor for student learning. However, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the school's students.
