Summary

Bridgeway Preparatory Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Dallas, Texas, with an enrollment of 125 students. The school is part of the Bridgeway Preparatory Academy District, which is ranked 945 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bridgeway Preparatory Academy consistently underperforms the state average on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 23.08% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state average of 52.02%. In STAAR Mathematics, the performance is even worse, with only 8.33% of 3rd graders and 0% of 4th and 5th graders reaching proficiency. The school also struggles to serve its student subgroups effectively, ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools for its African American student population in STAAR Reading in the 2023-2024 school year.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Jerry R Junkins Elementary, Blanton Elementary, and Davis Elementary, generally outperform Bridgeway Preparatory Academy on academic measures, despite serving similar student populations. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Jerry R Junkins Elementary had 47.92% of 3rd graders proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to Bridgeway Preparatory Academy's 23.08%. This suggests that Bridgeway Preparatory Academy may need to implement substantial changes to improve student outcomes and learn from the successful practices of higher-performing schools in the area.
