I Attended Bridgeport schools my whole life. Its a great place to be. Discipline is well in forced and the teachers are great. Even tho there have been budget cuts they still have many great classes like Yearbook, Journalism, and Video news.

Very friendly staff, everyone seems to want to help you and your children out at every possible opertunity. I would highly recomend this school. It's a small community, so that leave more 1 on 1 with teachers and students.

I am a student at Bridgeport High school. I attended Bridgeport Middle for two years. It is a great school, the teachers work with the students, discipline reports are sent home for every incident. The only reason people say our school are bad is because students don't try, don't ask for help, blame everything on the teachers, turn there parents against the teachers, and complain about everything. This school is a great school that offers so much to all students.

Much inconsistency with teachers expectations of the students academically. Appears to group the students together rather than categorizing students by their abilities. Extracurricular activities are available, however, maybe more students and parents would get invloved if the communication was better! Mail newsletters, send home flyers anything to spark enthusiasm Before the due date!

Small school, individual attention

I have a son that attends the school. There is much to be desired for the communication from the teachers when your student is performing poorly. When the report card comes that's when you find out there is a problem.

My daughter has attended Bridgeport School since kindergarden and she's always been a honor student and I've had good feed back from teacher because I've always stayed involved. The moral to my quote is in order to see sucess you have to stay involved and don't always blame the teachers for everything that your child does! My child has always had a g.p.a. that ranges from 3.0 to 4.0 and before you ask my daughter is an African American! I give Bridgeport Middle 4 stars.

Students refused help from staff when problems arise. The entire administration staff is extremly disorganized, suspensions given with no parent contact at all. I am very concerned for my childrens safety and will be moving them into a different district.

About the tests


In 2012-2013 Michigan used the Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in math, reading and writing; in grades 5 and 8 in science; and in grades 6 and 9 in social studies. The MEAP is a standards-based test, which measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Michigan. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.

Beginning in the 2011-2012 school year, the Michigan State Board of Education implemented new definitions of what it means to be proficient on the MEAP test. The new standards for proficiency are higher than in previous years and the percent of students earning a proficient score is expected to be lower as a result of this change.
