Bryan Elementary School

Summary:

Bryan Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lexington, Nebraska, serving 383 students in grades PK-5. Despite being part of the Lexington Public Schools district, which is ranked 202 out of 212 districts in the state, Bryan Elementary stands out as a relative bright spot, with strong academic performance and effective support for its diverse student population.

One key differentiator is the school's student racial makeup, with a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (75.46%) compared to the state average. However, Bryan Elementary outperforms the district and state in several academic areas, with 59% of 3rd graders, 55% of 4th graders, and 54% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district scores of 43%, 34%, and 35%, respectively, and the state scores of 63%, 55%, and 56%. The school also ranks exceptionally well for its Hispanic and English Language Learner student subgroups, placing 8th and 14th out of all Nebraska elementary schools in these categories.

While the nearby schools within the Lexington Public Schools district generally perform below the state average, Elementary School At Eustis (40.07%) and Early Learning Academy (16.09%), Bryan Elementary stands out with a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 48.17% to 57.75% over the past three school years. This suggests that the school's strategies and resources, including its higher per-student spending, may be contributing to its ability to support its economically disadvantaged student population and achieve strong academic results.

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.
