Bryan Hill Elementary

Summary:

Bryan Hill Elementary is a public elementary school in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving 182 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the St. Louis City School District, which is ranked 338 out of 376 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bryan Hill Elementary faces significant challenges, with an overwhelmingly African American student population (over 98%) and an extremely high percentage of students (over 98%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Missouri, with only 5-23.5% of students proficient or better in core subjects like Math and English Language Arts. This is well below the state and district averages. Despite relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $16,179 to $18,246 over the past four years, the school has struggled to improve student outcomes.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Ames Visual/Perf. Arts, Hickey Elementary, and Hamilton Elementary Community Education, while also serving predominantly African American and economically disadvantaged student populations, generally perform better than Bryan Hill Elementary on state assessments and have higher statewide rankings. This suggests that factors beyond just racial and socioeconomic composition may be contributing to the school's struggles.

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.
