Bridgeprep Academy South

Summary:

Bridgeprep Academy South is a public charter elementary and middle school located in Miami, Florida, serving 436 students in grades K-8. The school is part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 24th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bridgeprep Academy South consistently outperforms the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages in a wide range of subjects and grade levels, with an impressive 94% proficiency in Algebra 1 compared to 61% for Miami-Dade and 55% for Florida. However, the school has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (95.41%) and a much lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (4.36%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 65.86% to 97.78% Hispanic and 1.07% to 77.53% free/reduced lunch. Additionally, Bridgeprep Academy South has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.6% in 2018-2019 to 31.2% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools.

While Bridgeprep Academy South's academic performance is impressive, especially given its high percentage of Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students, the nearby True North Classical Academy At Pinecrest and True North Classical Academy At Gateway consistently outperform the school in test scores and other metrics, despite serving a more diverse student population. This suggests that the charter school model can be effective in delivering high-quality education, even in a predominantly Hispanic and low-income community.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
