Summary

Bridgeport Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-4 in the Upper Merion Area School District in Bridgeport, Pennsylvania. The school has 265 students and has been consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 10 years, receiving a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bridgeport Elementary faces significant challenges, particularly with its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 71.93% to 91.7% over the past few years - significantly higher than the nearby Roberts Elementary School, Cole Manor Elementary School, and other schools in the district. However, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students consistently perform in the top 15% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a 5-star rating for the 2024-2025 school year. Bridgeport Elementary lags behind the district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, but its math proficiency is much stronger, with 57.2% of students proficient or better compared to 48.6% for the district and 41.7% for the state.

The school's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating significantly over the years. While Bridgeport Elementary generally performs lower than other schools in the Upper Merion Area School District, it outperforms many of the elementary schools in the neighboring Norristown Area School District. The strong performance of Bridgeport's ELL students and the school's relatively high math proficiency suggest that there may be opportunities to improve overall academic outcomes, particularly in English Language Arts, with the right strategies and interventions.
