District-Level NCES Analysis

BRIDGEPORT PUBLIC SCHOOLS operates 2 public schools serving 506 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Nebraska. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 525 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Morrill County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $19,730 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 74.3% local, 14.1% state, and 11.6% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $111,674 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 37/100, ranked #147 of 200 in Nebraska against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 2 schools offering Advanced Placement (3 AP courses district-wide), a 262.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 17.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 75.3% White, 21.9% Hispanic or Latino, 0.8% African American across the district's schools.

Bridgeport Elementary School accounts for 51.8% of all BRIDGEPORT PUBLIC SCHOOLS student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means BRIDGEPORT PUBLIC SCHOOLS-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.

BRIDGEPORT PUBLIC SCHOOLS student-counselor ratio is 263:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts

student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment — districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within BRIDGEPORT PUBLIC SCHOOLS is typically wider than the BRIDGEPORT PUBLIC SCHOOLS-aggregate figure suggests.
