Excellent school. California School Dashboard results for 2023 just released and show Bridgeport consistently outperforming other schools in the county and district. Performance is measured by data and assessment results from the 2023 school year, and whether data improved from the previous year (2022 results). Blue is the highest performance level and red is the lowest performance level. Bridgeport scored at the highest performance level (Blue) for every measurement area Including math and English.

AOC has to rethink its policies and create a student-focused school environment and it especially needs to readjust its policies and treatment of special needs students.There is too much unnecessary homework at this school. The instructions are confusing, sometimes conflict, and the instructions change without email notice to the students.Most weekends and holidays have to be spent doing homework and projects and studying for tests for AOC and COC classes. There is not much free time or time to develop a students' individual interests and goals that would help them in their college applications. Too much group projects where some of the students try to dominate and mistreat others and/or do not do their fair share of the work. Some of these students even use profanity and encourage each other to do sex and drugs in group texts.The large clique of group of students exclude and bully some of the students. Some of the teachers can be rude, mean, and incredibly unjust in their policies. A teacher even made threatening comments to students. But not much is done about issues when it's reported.In order to even attend this school, special needs students' parents have been required to sign away their rights to special needs services such as speech and language therapy or resource therapy. AOC sometimes does not follow the IEP accommodations such as extra time that is stated in their IEP (as is mandated by IDEA law) during the regular school year or summer school. For example, during the Summer Honors Geometry, students with special needs were not granted extra time as stated in their IEP and they felt forced to drop out of this class when they worked so hard to qualify for this class (when they got As in Honors Algebra 1, Honors Algebra 2/ Trig classes that they had to take prior to Summer Honors Geometry. This summer geometry teacher emailed that even if a students fails one test the student would fail entire geometry course (even because of an illness or internet issues). In fact they got all As in their classes were not allowed to move onto COC precalculus in the fall (whey they qualified with their A grades and COC algorithm for math) and now are forced to take regular geometry over the school year (because AOC does not have summer geometry over the school year) where they are not being given complete test reviews with problems and solutions (as the rest of the math classes are for AOC or other jr. high and high schools in the district have been given)

The administration is awful, they don't care about the students at all. The school does not partner with the parents. They do not listen to the students or parents. Bullying is tolerated. The education is lackluster and the kids aren't prepared for high school. The students left behind are the smart ones. Not a good experience.

Hit or miss with the teachers - although that seems to be the same for every school. Previous comments about entitled, rude kids are accurate. Previous comments about your kid experiencing bullying at some point also accurate. No one seems to care to effectively address these issues and I expect it will not change in the future.
