Bryant Elementary School

Summary:

Bryant Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Mableton, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 865 students. The school is part of the Cobb County School District, which is ranked 52 out of 203 districts in Georgia and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Bryant Elementary School has consistently low academic performance compared to the Cobb County and Georgia state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics were significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 5th grade ELA, Bryant Elementary had a 25.5% proficiency rate, compared to 57.9% in Cobb County and 48.2% statewide. The school has been ranked in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools for the past several years, consistently ranking between 901 and 1188 out of around 1,250 schools. This low ranking indicates that the school is performing well below the state average. Additionally, Bryant Elementary School has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 82.79% to 85.78% over the past few years, suggesting a high concentration of students from low-income families.

While Bryant Elementary School's per-student spending has increased from $9,417 in 2016-2017 to $10,541 in 2018-2019, indicating a higher investment in the school, this higher spending has not translated into improved academic outcomes. The nearby schools in the Cobb County district, such as Austell Elementary, Sanders Elementary, and Mableton Elementary, also have relatively low academic performance compared to the district and state averages, but generally outperform Bryant Elementary. The charter schools in the area, such as D.E.L.T.A. STEAM Academy and Amana Academy West Atlanta, also outperform Bryant Elementary and the other nearby public schools in academic performance, highlighting the potential impact of alternative educational models and approaches.

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.
