Summary

Bryant Park Elementary is a PK-5 school in Birmingham, AL (Jefferson County) serving 707 students, where about 64.5% of families qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has shown steady improvement over the past several years, climbing from the 26th to the 31st percentile statewide, and now ranks 474th out of 686 elementary schools in Alabama.

One of the school's standout strengths is its work with African American students, who rank in the 55th percentile statewide—well above the school's overall performance. Multi-racial students also excel, ranking in the 75th percentile. In English Language Arts, Bryant Park consistently beats the Jefferson County district average in 3rd and 4th grades (60.36% and 53.15% proficient vs. 54.56% and 46.64% district-wide). Perhaps most impressive is the school's dramatic reduction in chronic absenteeism, which has dropped from 18.3% in 2021-2022 to just 7.6% today—far below the district average of 16.9% and the state average of 12.0%. This 58% improvement likely plays a big role in the school's academic gains.

However, math proficiency remains a significant challenge, especially in 5th grade, where only 15.74% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 39.06%. There's also a notable gender gap, with female students ranking in the 37th percentile versus 25th for males. When compared to nearby schools, Bryant Park substantially outperforms Chalkville Elementary (11th percentile) and Erwin Intermediate School (2nd percentile), and is closely matched with Clay Elementary. The contrast with Trussville City schools like Paine Elementary and Magnolia Elementary (both 95th+ percentile) is stark, though those schools serve far fewer low-income families. Overall, Bryant Park is a school making real progress—especially in literacy and attendance—while still working to close gaps in math and support all students equitably.
