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 353 out of 386 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bryan Hill Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 50.1% to 26.0% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by MAP test proficiency rates, is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 17.9% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 44.4%. The school's performance is consistently in the bottom 10-20% of Missouri elementary schools. While Bryan Hill Elementary ranks relatively higher for its African American student population, it struggles to support its low socioeconomic status (SES) students, who make up the majority of the school's population.

Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student, ranging from $16,179 to $18,246 per year, this additional funding does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. This suggests that the school and St. Louis City School District may need to re-evaluate how resources are being allocated and utilized to better support student learning. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and providing more equitable educational opportunities for all students should be top priorities for the school and district.

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.
