Summary:
Bridgeport School District is a small Washington district serving 772 students across four schools: Bridgeport Elementary (PK–5), Bridgeport Middle School (6–8), Bridgeport High School (9–12), and Bridgeport Aurora High School (9–12), in a high-need community where roughly 90% or more of students at each school qualify for free or reduced-price meals.
The schools differ considerably in their reported outcomes. Bridgeport High School is the strongest overall performer, with 55.36% of students proficient in English language arts, 26.79% in math, and a 93% graduation rate. Its ELA result is slightly above the state average, while its math and science results remain below state levels. In contrast, Bridgeport Middle School is the district’s most urgent academic concern, ranking near the bottom statewide with only 13.27% ELA and 7.65% math proficiency. Bridgeport Elementary also reports low achievement, including 9.26% ELA and 8.49% math proficiency.
Math is a weakness across all schools, and the middle school’s ELA results declined notably from the previous year. Families may also want to ask about the sharp drop in science proficiency at Bridgeport High School, even though the school continues to lead the district overall. Bridgeport Aurora High School reports a 40% graduation rate and a 40% dropout rate, but its enrollment is only 33 students, so a small number of students can substantially affect percentages; its test results are suppressed and should be considered unknown. Overall, parents should view the high school as a district strength while seeking information about academic supports, staffing, and improvement plans at the elementary and middle schools.
