Summary

Bryan Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lexington, Nebraska, serving 386 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Lexington Public Schools district, which has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Bryan Elementary has shown mixed performance compared to state and district averages. While the school has higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science than the Lexington district, it still lags behind the state averages. However, the school's diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic student population, has performed well, ranking in the top 8-17 out of 108-81 Nebraska elementary schools in recent years. In contrast, the school's performance for male students has been relatively weaker, ranking in the bottom half of Nebraska elementary schools.

One area of concern for Bryan Elementary is its high chronic absenteeism rate, reaching 21.1% in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the state average. The school has a relatively high per-student spending of $13,616 and a lower student-teacher ratio of 16:1, which may indicate a focus on providing additional resources to support its student population. Nearby Pershing Elementary, Morton Elementary, and Sandoz Elementary schools in the Lexington Public Schools district have generally lower academic performance and higher percentages of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds compared to Bryan Elementary.
