Summary:
The Bridgeport Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one middle school, Bridgeport Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. Despite facing challenges common to schools with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, Bridgeport Middle stands out for its exceptional performance on the Algebra I end-of-course exam, where its proficiency rate significantly exceeds the district and state averages.
Bridgeport Middle's diverse student population includes 43.3% White and 53.19% Hispanic students, with over half (58.46%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's overall STAAR test scores lag behind state averages, its Algebra I performance is a notable strength, with a 76.6% proficiency rate compared to the district's 28.13% and the state's 44.73%. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined slightly over the past three years, from 994th out of 2,254 Texas middle schools to 1,075th out of 2,361, despite maintaining a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
With a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.1 and per-student spending above the state average at $11,116, Bridgeport Middle appears to have the resources to support its students. Yet, the school's academic performance in core subjects like reading and math remains an area for improvement, as proficiency rates range from 30.67% in 6th grade math to 55.05% in 8th grade math. Targeted interventions and support programs could help the school address these challenges and enhance the educational experiences and outcomes for its students.
