Open Quote The rankings can "scare" you, but this school is truly amazing. The test scores are lower because it is a PASS school. Pretty much they are the school all the troubled kids and kids having trouble come to. The teachers genuinely care. The principal genuinely cares. The staff at this school will stand on their heads and scoot backwards if they think it will help your child learn. There is a special atmosphere that can not be mimicked or falsified. I would highly recommend this school to people with children who are excelling in their schoolwork as well as to parents who's children are struggling. Bridgeport accommodates both. Close Quote
