Bryant Elementary

Summary:

Bryant Elementary is a public elementary school located in San Francisco, California, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 226 students. The school is part of the San Francisco Unified School District, which is ranked 651 out of 1,568 districts in California and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Bryant Elementary has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.9% in 2020-2021 to 50.2% in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like Moscone (George R.) Elementary (26.8%) and King (Thomas Starr) Elementary (24.9%). Additionally, Bryant Elementary's test scores are significantly lower than the San Francisco Unified School District and the state of California across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 12.39% of Bryant Elementary students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 53.73% for the district and 47.04% for the state. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 74.67% in 2020-2021 to 83.63% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like Webster (Daniel) Elementary (34.1%) and King (Thomas Starr) Elementary (40.99%).

Bryant Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the San Francisco Unified School District and the state of California, suggesting that the school may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the high chronic absenteeism rates, low test scores, and the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population. Addressing these issues could be crucial for improving the school's performance and providing a better educational experience for its students.

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.

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.
