There were 20,022 students enrolled in Bridgeport School District in the 2024-25 school year, 2.2% more than the previous year, according to the Connecticut State Department of Education.
Data also showed that most of the students were Hispanic, representing 61.1% of the district’s total enrollment.
Bridgeport School District roughly covers 36 schools within Fairfield County and has a main office in Bridgeport.
Among those schools, Central High School recorded the highest enrollment of 1,803 students in the 2024-25 school year.
Connecticut’s public schools generally have better student-teacher ratios than the U.S. average. According to data compiled by Public School Review, Connecticut’s average student-teacher ratio is about 12:1, meaning there are roughly 12 students for every teacher in the state’s public schools—lower than the national average of approximately 15:1. This suggests that, on average, Connecticut classrooms may offer smaller group sizes and potentially more individualized attention compared with public schools nationwide.
