Bryant Park Elementary

Q: Is Bryant Park Elementary a good school?

Bryant Park Elementary ranks 507 th of 684 Alabama elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Bryant Park Elementary is a public elementary school in Birmingham, Alabama, serving 708 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Jefferson County school district, which is ranked 97 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Bryant Park Elementary faces significant academic challenges, as evidenced by its low statewide ranking of 507 out of 684 Alabama elementary schools and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly lower than the Jefferson County and Alabama state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 21.82% of 3rd-grade students at Bryant Park Elementary were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 30.63% in Jefferson County and 42.16% statewide.

The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 62.43% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, is a key differentiating factor and likely a significant contributor to the academic challenges faced by the student population. Nearby schools in the Jefferson County district, such as Clay Elementary School and Erwin Intermediate School, also perform below the state average, suggesting broader systemic challenges within the district. However, some nearby schools in the Trussville City district, such as Paine Elementary School and Magnolia Elementary School, significantly outperform Bryant Park Elementary and the state average, highlighting the impact of district-level factors on school performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

2022	617	27.0	22.8	63

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
