Summary:
The Bridge City Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two elementary schools: Bridge City Elementary and Bridge City Intermediate. While both schools are performing well, Bridge City Intermediate appears to be a standout, with a higher statewide ranking, a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, and stronger proficiency rates on STAAR Reading and Mathematics assessments compared to the district and state averages.
Bridge City Intermediate serves 712 students, with a racial demographic of 69.52% White, 21.91% Hispanic, 1.83% African American, and 3.09% Asian. The school has a lower free and reduced lunch rate of 43.26% compared to Bridge City Elementary's 50.42%, suggesting a less economically disadvantaged student population. Additionally, Bridge City Intermediate spends $7,444 per student, slightly less than the $8,140 spent per student at Bridge City Elementary.
In contrast, Bridge City Elementary serves 843 students and does not have a statewide ranking or SchoolDigger rating listed. While the school's STAAR proficiency rates are not as high as Bridge City Intermediate's, it is likely providing additional support to its more economically disadvantaged student population, as evidenced by the higher free and reduced lunch rate. The higher spending per student at Bridge City Elementary may be an indication of the district's efforts to address the needs of this school.
