Summary

Bridgeport Elementary is a public elementary school (PK-5) serving 347 students in the Bridgeport School District, which faces significant academic challenges across the region.

The school is consistently ranked among the lowest-performing in Washington, placing in the 1st percentile for the 2024-2025 school year. Academic proficiency rates are critically low, with only 7.5% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 16.6% in math. This performance is dramatically lower than nearby elementary schools like Pateros Elementary and Morgen Owings Elementary School, even though Bridgeport spends more per student than some of these peers. The school serves a community with a high level of economic need, with about 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

An interesting finding is that Brewster Elementary School has a nearly identical rate of economic need yet achieves substantially higher proficiency scores, suggesting that factors beyond funding and poverty are at play. Performance has also been volatile and has declined sharply in recent years, particularly for English Language Learners and students from low-income families. This indicates persistent, systemic challenges that the school and Bridgeport School District are working to address.
