Summary:
This analysis examines four public schools in the Bridgeport School District (zip code 98813), a small, rural community in Washington, which together serve grades K-12 in a district that ranks among the lowest in the state.
The Bridgeport School District faces significant academic challenges, with all schools showing proficiency rates well below state averages, particularly in math and English language arts. Bridgeport Elementary and Bridgeport Middle School rank in the bottom percentiles statewide, with the middle school being a critical area of concern. However, Bridgeport High School stands out as a relative strength, with a 93% graduation rate that exceeds the state average and improving state rankings.
A notable finding is the stark contrast between the district's two high schools. While Bridgeport High School shows strong outcomes, Bridgeport Aurora High School reports an alarmingly low 40% graduation rate alongside a high dropout rate, suggesting it may serve a different student population or function as an alternative program. All schools in the district serve a student population with very high economic need, as indicated by free/reduced lunch rates consistently near or above 90%.
