John Neely Bryan Elementary

Summary:

John Neely Bryan Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 379 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Dallas Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 557 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

John Neely Bryan Elementary faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly African American (43.27%) and Hispanic (53.56%), and an extremely high percentage (over 97%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and proficiency rates in STAAR Reading and Mathematics that are significantly lower than the district and state averages, particularly in 3rd, 5th, and 6th grades. Despite the relatively high spending per student, ranging from $10,560 to $14,390 over the past few years, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13 to 14.4 students per teacher, the school continues to underperform academically.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Elisha M Pease Elementary, Trinity Heights Gifted and Talented School, and Harry Stone Montessori Academy, generally perform better academically than John Neely Bryan Elementary, with higher proficiency rates and better overall rankings. This suggests that the challenges faced by John Neely Bryan Elementary may be unique to the school or its specific student population, and that the broader community faces significant economic challenges that may contribute to the academic struggles observed at the school.

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.
