Bridgeport Elementary

Tucked into the high desert valley of Bridgeport, this small K-8 school serves a tight-knit community surrounded by the Eastern Sierra Nevada — think ranching families, outdoor enthusiasts, and folks who've chosen a quieter, more rugged pace of life. The school punches above its weight in English, making it a solid choice for families who value literacy in a place where class sizes are small and teachers genuinely know their students. If you're drawn to wide open spaces, access to world-class fishing and hiking, and a community where everyone knows your kid's name, Bridgeport is the kind of place where that trade-off feels very much worth it.
