Summary:
The 62417 zip code area is home to two schools - Red Hill Junior/Senior High School and Bridgeport Grade School, both serving a relatively low-income student population. While Red Hill Junior/Senior High School performs better than the district and state averages in English Language Arts, it lags behind in Mathematics. Bridgeport Grade School, on the other hand, underperforms the district and state in both subjects. Both schools face challenges in addressing the unique needs of their student populations, as indicated by the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility.
Red Hill Junior/Senior High School is the only high school in the zip code area, serving grades 7-12 with a relatively large enrollment of 395 students. The school's performance on standardized tests is mixed, with stronger results in English Language Arts (ELA) compared to Mathematics. While the school's 4-year graduation rate of 89.0% and dropout rate of 2.4% are reasonable, there is room for improvement. Bridgeport Grade School, the only elementary school in the area, serves grades PK-3 with an enrollment of 301 students. The school's performance on standardized ELA and Mathematics tests is below the district and state averages.
Both schools serve a high percentage of students from low-income families, with Red Hill Junior/Senior High School having 58.99% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and Bridgeport Grade School having 68.77%. This suggests that the schools may face challenges in addressing the unique needs and barriers faced by students from disadvantaged backgrounds, which could impact their academic achievement. Addressing attendance and engagement issues, as well as targeting interventions to improve Mathematics performance, could be potential areas for improvement across both schools.
