Summary:

Zip code 62417 has two schools in Red Hill CUSD 10: Bridgeport Grade School, serving prekindergarten through grade 3, and Red Hill Junior/Senior High School, serving grades 7–12. The schools have no tested grade in common, so their overall scores are not a like-for-like comparison. The clearest area-wide finding is that Red Hill pairs a standout eighth-grade ELA result with below-state math results in both tested grades.

Red Hill stands out at the top in eighth-grade ELA: 85% proficient, compared with 63% statewide, a 22-point advantage. Its seventh-grade ELA is also slightly above the state, 59% versus 58%, but math is a clear weakness: seventh grade is 21% versus 40% statewide, and eighth grade is 24% versus 35%. Bridgeport is close to its third-grade state benchmarks: ELA is 46% versus 48%, while math is 48.6% versus 49.2%, less than a point below. Red Hill also has a high graduation rate, 97% versus 90% statewide, but its chronic absenteeism is 35%, compared with 21% at Bridgeport and 24% statewide.

Recent IAR results show math gains at both schools: Red Hill’s all-grades figure rose from 14% to 22%, while Bridgeport’s increased from 45% to 49%; ELA rose by 1 point at Red Hill and slipped by 1 point at Bridgeport. These all-grades changes are indicative rather than a direct school-to-school or grade-matched comparison. In 2024–2025, Red Hill had a 14.8 student-teacher ratio and 58% free/reduced lunch eligible; Bridgeport had a 12.8 ratio and 63% free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger gives Red Hill a 2025–2026 rank of 371 out of 620, the 40th percentile, and two stars; Bridgeport’s supplied SchoolDigger rankings are from 2007–2010 and do not provide a current comparison.
