The school is part of the MSD Wayne Township school district, which is ranked 289 out of 380 districts in Indiana and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Bridgeport Elementary School's academic performance is generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. The school's ELA proficiency rates range from 10.38% to 29.13% across grade levels, compared to the district's 20.58% to 24.22% and the state's 40.3% to 41.4%. Similarly, the school's Math proficiency rates range from 12.26% to 31.91%, while the district's range from 16.68% to 30.81% and the state's from 39.7% to 51.5%. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%, which could be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance.
Additionally, Bridgeport Elementary School serves a student population with a high level of economic disadvantage, with 70.8% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's spending per student is $14,093, which is higher than the state average, but it's unclear if this additional funding is being effectively utilized to improve student outcomes. The school's student-teacher ratio of 15.2 is relatively low, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention to students, but this does not seem to be translating into higher academic achievement based on the test scores.
