Summary:
ZIP code 98813 has two public high schools serving grades 9–12 in the Bridgeport School District, with 271 students combined and very high levels of economic need. Bridgeport High School serves most students, enrolling 238 at 1220 Kryger Ave, while Bridgeport Aurora High School enrolls 33 at 1400 Tacoma.
The two schools have notably different outcomes. Bridgeport High School reported a 93.0% graduation rate in 2024–2025, well above the district’s 80.3% and the statewide 82.6%. Its 2025–2026 proficiency results were also stronger than district results in every tested subject: 55.36% in English language arts, 26.79% in math, and 25.49% in science. ELA was slightly above the state rate, while math and science remained below it. ELA and math improved from the prior year, but science declined sharply, making science the clearest academic area needing attention. The school’s student-teacher ratio was 14.8, and its historical ranking percentile improved from the 19th to the 29th percentile over the supplied three-year period.
Aurora is much smaller, so its percentages can change substantially when only a few students’ outcomes change. Its 40.0% graduation rate was far below both district and state averages, and its 40.0% dropout rate was well above the district and state rate of 9.8%. Aurora’s school-level test results are suppressed, meaning they are unavailable and should not be interpreted as zero or failing performance. Both schools serve communities where more than 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Overall, Bridgeport High School offers the stronger available graduation and academic profile, while Aurora’s most important concerns are student persistence, graduation completion, and dropout prevention.
