Bryant Elementary School

Summary:

Bryant Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Harvey, Illinois, serving 313 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Harvey School District 152, which is ranked 789 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bryant Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with a ranking between 1249 and 1703 out of around 2,000 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the state averages, with only 30.2% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 12.5% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 41.2% and 28.4%, respectively. However, the school performs relatively better for certain student subgroups, such as African American students and English Language Learners, where it ranks in the top half or top third of Illinois schools for those subgroups. Bryant Elementary School also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 32.2% to 41.7%, significantly higher than the state average.

The nearby schools within the same district (Harvey School District 152) and other nearby districts (Dolton School District 148 and W Harvey-Dixmoor PSD 147) also perform poorly on academic measures, with low proficiency rates and rankings compared to the state. However, some of the nearby schools, such as Riverdale School and Park Elementary School, perform slightly better than Bryant Elementary School in certain academic areas. Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a relatively high spending per student, which raises questions about the effective allocation of resources and the need for a more targeted approach to improving student outcomes.

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.
