Summary

Bridgeton Public Charter School is an elementary school serving grades K-4 in Bridgeton, New Jersey, with 132 students. The school faces significant academic and demographic challenges compared to its surrounding public schools in the Bridgeton Public Charter School District, which is ranked 597 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bridgeton Public Charter School consistently performs well below the state average on standardized tests, with only 13.8% of 3rd graders and 21.7% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 44.9% and 53.6% respectively. In math, the proficiency rates were 31% for 3rd grade and 17.3% for 4th grade, again well below the state averages. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.9% to 18.6% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. Interestingly, the school has seen a significant decline in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 37.39% in 2021-2022 to just 8.33% in 2023-2024, suggesting a changing student demographic.

Compared to nearby public schools, such as Deerfield Township Elementary School, Hopewell Crest, and the various Bridgeton City School District schools, Bridgeton Public Charter School generally performs worse on standardized tests and has higher chronic absenteeism rates. However, these nearby public schools also serve higher percentages of students from low-income families. Bridgeton Public Charter School's spending per student of $7,729 in 2018-2019 is lower than many of the nearby public schools, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges.
