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.

Bridges Preparatory School is a ver community oriented school. Overall my experience has been good, I have made life long friends and have learned a lot. However, in my option the turn over rate of teachers makes it hard to form connections with staff and forces you to start new every year with getting to know your teachers.

Going into my third year at Bridges Preparatory School, it genuinely feels like family in the best possible way. I feel heard and seen here. I feel blessed to be able to work in an establishment that is always trying to be better.

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.

Our child is in the lower elementary level at Bridges so our experience is in the K-5 range, for what it's worth. I'd put BPS squarely in the average range for local schools. Take away the shiny new campus and it's the same experience we've had with the traditional public schools in Beaufort County....
