GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

my overall experience at bridges preparatory was fantastic. I started my sixth-grade year. over the next six years I would be accepted into the junior honor society. I would then try out for the jv basketball team and would later be a starter on the varsity team. I would meet wonderful teacher/students while attending school. I had a sense of belonging and purpose there.

Take away the shiny new campus and it's the same experience we've had with the traditional public schools in Beaufort County....
