Better than 5% of California middle schools

Summary

Bryant Middle serves grades 6–8 and enrolls 487 students in Dos Palos, California, in the Dos Palos Oro Loma Joint Unified district. In 2025–26, proficiency was 20% in English language arts (ELA), 9% in math, and 11% in science—below state and district results in every subject. The key finding is that Bryant had the lowest ELA and math rates among the four nearby schools and the second-lowest science rate.

Science is Bryant’s relative bright spot among nearby schools, although its score remains low: its 11% proficiency rate was 8 points below the nearby-school average of 19%, while its ELA rate of 20% was 16 points below the average of 35%, and its math rate of 9% was 14 points below the average of 22%. Bryant was 30 points below the state in both ELA and math, and 25 points below in science. Compared with its district, it was 6 points lower in ELA, 6 points lower in math, and 9 points lower in science. So science was closest to the nearby average, while math was weakest locally and science trailed the district most.

Over four years, ELA proficiency fell 7 points, from 26% in 2022–23 to 20% in 2025–26; math fell 2 points, from 11% to 9%; and science rose 2 points, from 8% to 11%. SchoolDigger places Bryant at the 5th statewide percentile with 0 stars, down from the 17th percentile in 2021–22; it ranks below all four nearby schools overall. Contextual measures are also high compared with nearby schools: in 2024–25, 88% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, and the student-teacher ratio was 21.8, versus a nearby average of 20.2. Chronic absenteeism has improved, declining from 36.5% in 2021–22 to 24.6% in 2025–26, but remains 6 points above the state rate. SchoolDigger’s English Language Learner Students ranking was comparatively stronger than Bryant’s overall ranking: it reached the 28th percentile in 2023–24, compared with the school’s overall 7th percentile, after standing at the 48th percentile in 2021–22 and 19th in 2022–23.
