Summary

Bryant Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 564 students in grades PK-5 in Sioux City, Iowa. It is part of the Sioux City Community School District, which is ranked 270 out of 313 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bryant Elementary faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.6% to 28.4% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Spalding Park Elementary (21.6%) and Perry Creek Elementary (21.6%). Additionally, the school's test scores on the ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) are generally lower than the Sioux City Community School District and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 54.2% of 3rd graders at Bryant were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 59.4% for the district and 67.9% for the state.

Bryant Elementary also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 72.43% to 76.77% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the rates at nearby schools like Perry Creek Elementary (53.8%) and Irving Preschool (5.95%). Despite the higher spending per student at Bryant Elementary ($13,836) compared to some nearby schools, the school's performance metrics are still lagging behind those of its neighbors, suggesting that the district and school leadership may need to re-evaluate their strategies and resource allocation to better support the needs of the Bryant Elementary community.
