Summary:
The 46231 zip code area has only one elementary school, Bridgeport Elementary School, which serves students from a diverse, economically disadvantaged community. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and adequate per-student spending, its academic performance lags behind both the MSD Wayne Township district and the state of Indiana averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Math.
Bridgeport Elementary School's student population is 45.3% African American, 27.07% Hispanic, and 18.38% White, with smaller percentages of Asian, Native American, and Pacific Islander students. A significant majority (63.96%) of the students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school also struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.1%, which may contribute to its academic challenges.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and adequate per-student spending, its consistently low performance on standardized tests and persistent ranking in the bottom quartile of Indiana elementary schools suggest that there are opportunities for improvement. Addressing the unique needs of the school's diverse, economically disadvantaged student population and implementing targeted interventions to improve attendance and academic outcomes could be crucial steps in supporting the success of Bridgeport Elementary School.
