Bryant Elementary School

Summary:

Bryant Elementary School is a public elementary school in Dubuque, Iowa, serving 314 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. As part of the Dubuque Community School District, Bryant Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with students outperforming district and state averages in academic proficiency.

Bryant Elementary's academic excellence is evident in its consistently high performance on state assessments. In the 2023-2024 school year, 93.5% of 5th-grade students were proficient in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, and 95.7% were proficient in Science, significantly exceeding the district and state averages. The school's statewide ranking has remained between 50 and 164 over the past several years, a testament to the quality of education it provides.

While Bryant Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to some nearby schools, such as Carver Elementary and Marshall Elementary, the racial makeup of the student body is still predominantly White. Additionally, the school has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (31.21% in 2022-2023) compared to the district average, suggesting it may serve a more affluent community. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.7 to 15.3 over the past three school years, may also contribute to its academic success.

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.
