District-Level NCES Analysis
Bridgeport School District operates 4 public schools serving 776 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Washington. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 high, 1 combined, 1 middle schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Douglas County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $17,545 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 311 Washington districts by per-pupil spending. See how Washington compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 6.4% local, 75.2% state, and 18.4% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 79/100, ranked #23 of 239 in Washington against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (6 AP courses district-wide), a 302.8:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 9.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 91.3% Hispanic or Latino, 7.7% White, 0.6% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Bridgeport Aurora High School, with a diversity index of 33.4/100.
Its largest campus is Bridgeport Elementary, enrolling 347 students (45% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Bridgeport Aurora High School, at 33 students, a 11x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Bridgeport Elementary accounts for 44.7% of all Bridgeport School District student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Bridgeport School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Bridgeport School District school enrollment varies 11× across entities
Bridgeport School District school enrollment ranges from 33 students (lowest) to 347 students (highest), a spread of 314 students. That spread reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Bridgeport School District reports 95.3% free-lunch eligibility
The reported share is above 87.5%, so economic need is widespread across the measured student population. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Bridgeport School District student-counselor ratio is 303:1 — 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 School District is typically wider than the Bridgeport School District-aggregate figure suggests.
Bridgeport School District chronic absenteeism rate is 9.6% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
