Bridger School

Summary:

Bridger School is an elementary school in Logan, Utah, serving 490 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Logan City School District. While the school has seen a shift in its racial makeup, with an increase in Hispanic students, its academic performance, as measured by test scores, consistently lags behind the district and state averages.

Bridger School's RISE test scores are lower than the Logan City District and Utah state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 35.2% of 3rd-grade students at Bridger School were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 37.4% for the district and 46.7% for the state. Additionally, Bridger School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it well below nearby schools like Wilson School and Hillcrest School.

Bridger School also has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 73.67% in 2022-2023, compared to the nearby schools, which range from 43.84% to 64.19%. This suggests that the school serves a lower-income population, which may contribute to the lower academic performance. The school also has a higher student-teacher ratio of 20.7, compared to the nearby schools, which range from 19.5 to 23.1. These factors, combined with the district's overall 2-star rating, indicate that Bridger School and the Logan City School District may need to re-evaluate their strategies and allocate more resources to support the unique needs of the Bridger School community.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
