Bryan Adams H S Leadership Academy

Summary:

Bryan Adams H S Leadership Academy is a public high school located in Dallas, Texas, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,271 students. The school is part of the Dallas Independent School District, which is ranked 557 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (81.07%), it has struggled with declining graduation rates, from 93.1% in 2019-2020 to 85.6% in 2022-2023, which is lower than the state average and the nearby Woodrow Wilson High School, which had an 88.9% graduation rate in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school's dropout rate has increased from 1.2% in 2017-2018 to 2.8% in 2021-2022, higher than the state and district averages. Academically, Bryan Adams H S Leadership Academy consistently underperforms compared to the state and district averages in STAAR EOC assessments across all subject areas, with a proficiency rate in Algebra I of 29.55% in 2023-2024, compared to the district's 40.52% and the state's 44.73%.

Despite these challenges, the school has some strengths, such as high rankings for its English Language Learner subgroup, indicating the potential for improvement with the right strategies and resources. However, the school's high percentage of students (89.3%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, as well as its lower per-student spending compared to nearby schools like Woodrow Wilson High School and Mesquite Independent School District schools, suggest that socioeconomic factors and funding disparities may be contributing to the school's underperformance. By learning from the best practices of higher-performing nearby schools, Bryan Adams H S Leadership Academy may be able to address its challenges and better serve its diverse student population.

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.
