The school consistently ranks among the top middle schools in the state, maintaining a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 10 years and outperforming the Harrison County Schools district and the state of West Virginia in proficiency rates across core subjects.

Bridgeport Middle School's academic excellence is particularly noteworthy, with the school ranking 3rd, 9th, 3rd, and 6th in the state over the past four school years. The school's diverse student population, with a higher percentage of non-White students compared to surrounding schools, also demonstrates a commitment to equity and inclusion. Bridgeport Middle School excels in the performance of various student subgroups, including Female, Male, Asian, African American, and Multi-racial students, ranking among the top schools in the state for these groups. However, the school's performance for Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status students, while still strong, is not as exceptional as its performance in other subgroups, suggesting potential areas for improvement.

When compared to nearby schools, Bridgeport Middle School stands out as a standout performer. East Fairmont Middle School, West Fairmont Middle School, and Philippi Middle School all have lower academic rankings and proficiency rates compared to Bridgeport Middle School, which is a testament to the school's consistent academic excellence and effective teaching strategies.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
