Summary:
The city of Bridgeport, Texas is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools (Bridgeport Elementary and Bridgeport Intermediate), 1 middle school (Bridgeport Middle), and 1 high school (Bridgeport High School). The data reveals a significant disparity in academic performance between the high school and the two elementary schools.
Bridgeport High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 93.1% and a low dropout rate of 0.5%. The school also performs better than the district and state averages on several STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams, particularly in U.S. History, Biology, and English II Reading. However, the school's overall statewide ranking is relatively low, ranking between 1014-1118 out of 1961-1987 Texas high schools in the past 3 school years, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
In contrast, Bridgeport Intermediate has struggled academically, with very low proficiency rates on STAAR Reading, Math, and Science tests compared to the district and state averages. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past 3 years, from 2897 out of 4647 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 4521 out of 4651 in 2024-2025, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. This disparity in academic performance may be influenced by the high poverty levels at the elementary schools, as indicated by their high free/reduced lunch rates.
