Bryan Middle School

Summary:

Bryan Middle School is a public middle school in Omaha, Nebraska, serving 866 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Omaha Public Schools district, which is ranked 205 out of 212 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bryan Middle School faces significant challenges compared to nearby middle schools. The school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing middle schools in Nebraska, with a statewide ranking between 218 and 246 out of 223 to 249 middle schools over the past several years. Its performance on state assessments is significantly below the state and district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Additionally, 81.66% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which is much higher than the state and district averages. The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic, at 74.02%, which is unique compared to the surrounding Papillion La Vista Community Schools and Westside Community Schools.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $17,488 in the 2022-2023 school year, which is higher than the state and district averages, the academic performance does not reflect the additional resources. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the need for a more strategic approach to supporting the unique needs of the student population, which includes addressing the socioeconomic challenges and racial disparities that may be contributing to the school's consistently low performance.

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.
