Original Research by School Decision on Bridgeport Elementary School

Bridgeport Elementary School is a regular public school in Tualatin, a southern suburb of Portland, serving kindergarten through fifth grade. It operates within the Tigard-Tualatin School District, which encompasses multiple elementary, middle, and high school campuses spread across the two cities.

Tualatin itself is an auto-oriented suburb built around interstate and highway corridors, with a mix of residential neighborhoods, industrial zones, and large retail centers like Bridgeport Village and Nyberg Woods. Major local employers include semiconductor manufacturing, a hospital, and consumer product companies. The city has parks and a public library, but lacks a traditional walkable downtown; school campuses are dispersed throughout the suburban landscape.

The student body at Bridgeport Elementary is moderately sized. Racially and ethnically, the school is diverse, with a large Hispanic share, a substantial white population, and smaller groups of Asian, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, Black, and multiracial students. More than half of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a notable figure given the area’s high housing costs. Data on the share of students receiving special education services or classified as English learners was not reported, so a parent may want to ask the school directly about those supports.

On Oregon’s state assessments, proficiency rates vary by subject and grade. In English language arts, the share of students meeting standards rises from a moderate level in third grade to a stronger level in fifth grade. Math proficiency is fairly consistent across the tested grades but remains modest overall. Fifth-grade science proficiency is comparable to math. When measured against other districts in Clackamas County, Bridgeport Elementary’s overall performance sits above the midpoint of the comparison group. Still, only a single year of assessment data is available, so no trend can be drawn. Because the school ends at fifth grade, there is no graduation rate.

Housing in Tualatin is expensive. Home values and rents are well above both national and state medians, and the cost of buying a home relative to income is high. This creates a tension worth noting: the school serves a student population where a majority qualify for meal assistance, while the surrounding housing market is among the pricier in the region. A family moving into the area may want to understand how the school supports students from lower-income households in that context.

The district appears to have undergone no major recent changes that were publicly reported, and several school-level data points—such as chronic absenteeism, discipline rates, staffing ratios, and course access—were absent from the available information. Those gaps mean a fuller picture of daily conditions at Bridgeport Elementary would require a conversation with the school itself. What is clear is that the school serves a diverse, moderately sized elementary population in a high-cost suburb, with academic results that are mixed across subjects and grades but position the school favorably relative to its county peers.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
