Bryant William C School

Summary:

Bryant William C School is an elementary school located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, serving grades PK-8 with a student population of 358. The school is part of the Philadelphia City School District, which is ranked 494 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Bryant William C School consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Pennsylvania, with only 2.2% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math and 16.6% proficient or better in PSSA English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 39.3% and 53.8%, respectively. The school also has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the school has experienced a concerning increase in dropout rates, rising from 0.0% in 2018-2019 to 4.3% in the 2022-2023 school year.

While Bryant William C School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.3, this does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Nearby schools, such as Harrington Avery D School and Longstreth William C School, share similar demographic and academic profiles, but some have slightly higher academic performance on PSSA tests. When compared to higher-performing schools in the region, such as Stonehurst Hills Elementary School and Vision Academy Charter School, the academic performance gap becomes even more pronounced, suggesting that Bryant William C School may face significant challenges in effectively utilizing its resources to improve 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.
