Summary:
Bridgeway Preparatory Academy is the sole school in the Bridgeway Preparatory Academy district, an elementary school in Dallas, TX serving grades PK through 8 with a total enrollment of 108 students.
This school stands out for its consistently low academic performance, ranking in the 0th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year—4,623rd out of 4,627 schools. This marks a steep decline from the 12th percentile it held in 2023-2024. The school has received an overall star rating of 0 stars. Test scores reveal a critical weakness in mathematics, with 0% of 5th graders proficient in math in both 2024-2025 and 2025-2026, while the state average hovers around 47-49%. Reading scores are also low, with 4th graders at 14.29% proficiency in 2025-2026 compared to a state average of roughly 53-58%. The school spends $10,800 per student, a relatively high amount, yet academic outcomes are among the worst in the state, suggesting issues with resource allocation or instructional quality rather than a lack of funding.
A notable pattern is the "5th grade wall," where students consistently fail in math and science at that grade level. With only 108 students, test scores are highly volatile—a 0% math score could represent a small class of 10-15 students all failing. The free/reduced lunch rate is 48.15%, and the student-teacher ratio is 18:1. This data paints a picture of a school in rapid decline, where interventions have not reversed the downward trajectory, and systemic challenges in math instruction are particularly severe.
