Summary

Bridge is a K–5 elementary school in Lexington, MA, serving 345 students as part of the Lexington district, which ranks 6th of 351 Massachusetts districts. In 2025–2026, Bridge ranked 20th of 899 elementary schools statewide — the top 2% — its second-best showing on record after #14 in 2016–2017, and a continuation of a steady climb from #55 in 2023–2024 to #27 in 2024–2025 to #20 in 2025–2026.

ELA and math are Bridge's clear strengths. Its 2025–2026 ELA proficiency of 74.59 and math proficiency of 80.11 both exceed the Lexington district averages (72.94 and 79.23) and sit far above the state averages (40.03 and 41.11). Science is the relative soft spot at 69.12 — below the district's 73.86 but still well above the state's 40.98. Because science is tested only in 5th grade, that number largely reflects a single cohort. Among Lexington peers, Bridge's #20 statewide rank is second only to Joseph Estabrook (#18), and ahead of Bowman (#26), Maria Hastings (#32), Harrington (#52) and Fiske (#68). Bridge's ELA is the highest in that group, and its math is second only to Estabrook's.

Third and fourth grades are especially strong: 4th-grade ELA of 80.39 is the best among same-district peers, and 4th-grade math (84.31) trails only Estabrook. Fifth grade is more mixed — math is above district, but ELA and science fall below it. Bridge also ranks highly for many student groups, including special education students and multiple demographic subgroups, and it historically ranked very high for low-income students when that data was reported. Its student-teacher ratio of 9.7 is lower than Estabrook, Bowman, Hastings and Harrington, and per-pupil spending was $20,619 in 2020–2021. Compared with nearby Waltham schools such as Northeast and Dual Language, Bridge's scores are far higher, while Arlington's Cyrus E Dallin posts similar ELA results but much weaker math.
