Summary

Bridgeport Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Bridgeport, Nebraska. With 274 students, the school is part of the Bridgeport Public Schools district, which is ranked 56 out of 115 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bridgeport Elementary consistently outperforms the state average on NSCAS tests in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, with over 70% of 3rd and 5th graders scoring proficient or better in 2024-2025. The school has also been particularly effective in supporting its low-socioeconomic status students, ranking 9th out of 264 Nebraska elementary schools in 2020-2021 for the performance of this subgroup. However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.5% in 2020-2021 to 19.3% in 2024-2025, an issue the school will need to address.

Compared to the nearby Bayard Elementary School, which has consistently lower rankings and a 1-star SchoolDigger rating, Bridgeport Elementary is providing a higher-quality education for its students. The school's increasing per-student spending, rising from $18,399 in 2020-2021 to a projected $22,480 in 2023-2024, may be contributing to its strong academic performance and ability to support its most vulnerable students.
