Summary

Bridges Community Academy dba Bridges Preparatory Academy is a K–8 school in Tiffin, Ohio, serving 102 students—the smallest enrollment among nearby comparison schools—and is rated 728th of 773 Ohio districts (0 stars). In 2025–26, its school rank is 1440th of 1560 (8th percentile, 0 stars), a drop from 24th percentile and 1 star in 2024–25. By contrast, most nearby districts score far higher: Seneca East Local is 85th percentile, Mohawk Local 84th, and New Riegel Local 82nd. Even Tiffin City Schools is 52nd percentile.

Test scores are below state and nearby schools. In 2025–26, math and science are especially weak: 3rd grade math 18.2% vs. state 62.1%, 5th grade math 13.3% vs. 59.1%, and 8th grade science 18.8% vs. 61.2%. ELA is relatively stronger but still below state in every reported grade, such as 3rd grade ELA 45.5% vs. 63.4%. Nearby comparisons are stark: Green Springs Elementary School reports 82.3% in 5th grade math, Seneca East Elementary 85.3%, and Mohawk Elementary School 88.5%, while the school reports 13.3%. There have been isolated bright spots, like 7th grade ELA at 81.8% in 2023–24, but no sustained trend.

Chronic absenteeism is the most striking differentiator. The school’s rate is 46.8% in 2025–26, far above nearby schools: New Riegel Elementary School 1.1%, Mohawk Elementary School 5.1%, Seneca East Elementary 5.3%, and Hopewell-Loudon Local Elementary School 6.7%. Tiffin City Schools district rate is 17.2%. Also, the school’s student-teacher ratio rose to 25.5 in 2024–25, highest among nearby schools, up from 12.1 in 2022–23. Its 2018–19 per-student spending was $7,183, lower than most nearby districts. Current spending and poverty data are missing. Overall, the data show broad academic weakness, very high absenteeism, and operational challenges compared with neighboring schools.
