Summary:
The city of Bryant, Alabama is home to a single standout elementary school, Bryant School, which serves grades PK-6 and has a total enrollment of 132 students. As part of the Jackson County school district, Bryant School outperforms the county and state averages on several key academic metrics, including Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency across multiple grade levels.
Demographically, Bryant School has a predominantly White student population (87.12%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic, Native American, and multi-racial students. However, over half of the students (56.06%) are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 22:1 and spends $10,262 per student, which is above the state average.
Bryant School's academic excellence is evident in its steady improvement in statewide ranking, moving from 401 out of 687 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 293 out of 684 in 2023-2024. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also improved, from 2 stars to 3 stars in the current school year. While the school's strong performance suggests it is providing a high-quality education, the racial imbalance and socioeconomic challenges faced by a significant portion of the student population highlight the need for continued focus on equity and targeted support to ensure all students have equal opportunities for academic success.
