Bobby Bridges is the principal of Achievement First Bushwick Middle School. Prior to this role, Mr. Bridges served as the dean of students and as a seventh and eighth grade history teacher.

AF Bushwick Middle is home to the AF Bushwick Empower Program – Achievement First’s intensive program serving students with disabilities. The Empower Program’s design builds on the three pillars of our special services program: meaningful inclusion, intervention and specialized instruction to access grade-level curriculum. As a small-scale program that began in 2018-19, it serves students in grades 5-8 from Achievement First Brooklyn middle schools. The program is transitional in nature, with the ultimate goal for many students to have a thoughtfully planned and supported transition back to co-taught and general education classrooms at their original Achievement First school.
