Summary:

The 62417 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Bridgeport Grade School, which serves students from the Red Hill CUSD 10 district. While the school benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, its academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) exams, is a significant area of concern.

Bridgeport Grade School's proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics lag behind the district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate for all grades was 46.4%, compared to the district's 61.7% and the state's 53.1%. Similarly, the school's Mathematics proficiency rate for all grades was 44.9%, while the district scored 25.1% and the state 38.5%. The school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates in both subjects were also below the district and state benchmarks.

Additionally, Bridgeport Grade School faces challenges related to chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 25.4% in the 2024-2025 school year, and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 68.77% in the 2023-2024 school year. These socioeconomic factors may contribute to the school's academic performance concerns and could require targeted interventions and additional resources to address the needs of the student population.
