Bridgeport Elementary School

Posted September 5, 2008

My children have been attending Bridgeport for 5 years now. We've had issues and bumps in the road, but overall, the quality of the staff and the effort they put forth for each child is far and above any school I've visited before (I am a 'retired' elementary school teacher). The principal has been receptive to my needs, the staff is intelligent and well-educated, and I feel my children are safe and academically challenged.

My wife and I moved here last year with our two boys. We were living in North Glendale, CA and our oldest started attending Bridgeport Elementary as a 4th grader. It became apparent to my wife and I that this school had a different mindset when it came to homework and education. It took our son about two weeks to adjust to the new tougher curriculum standards. But this is what we wanted and expected when it came to a school educating our children. We are now living in Valencia, CA for almost two years and our expectation have been fulfilled when it came to Bridgeport Elementary. This school just got its Distinguished School title! I would highly recommend this school to anyone wanting to place their children in the public school system without worrying if the school is meeting all it educational standards! The parents at this school are very involved with the school educators and generous when participating in school activities.

This is the school you've been looking to send your children. There isn't one staff member, whether it be the principal or the custodians, who aren't involved in the success of your child. The teachers are phenomenal. Resource teachers are incredible. The workload is tough, and kids are pushed to succeed, but nothing that is overwhelming for them or you as a parent. The PTA is strong and active and provides so many events and enrichment classes that I guarantee you'll be surprised. There is a genuine atmosphere of comraderie. The school is clean, the classrooms are pristine, the library is stocked, the playground is huge. This school provides education similar to the private school our boys attended prior to moving to Valencia. The only negative I can provide is that both boys wish the lunch food was better...but they're picky eaters anyway!

There is a huge amount of parent involvement and many extracurricular activities, whether it is the family fun nights, after school activites, or to the online school news broadcast. The facilitys are amazing, that which you would not expect from a public school. Thank You Mrs Bender and staff for making our childrens life so enriched.
