Summary

Bryant Middle is a public middle school serving about 490 students in grades 6-8 in Dos Palos, California, as part of the Dos Palos Oro Loma Joint Unified school district.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with student proficiency in English, math, and science consistently ranking in the bottom 5-10% of all California schools, which is notably lower than nearby middle schools like Firebaugh Middle and Los Banos Junior High. Two major concerns are a high chronic absenteeism rate of over 26%, which is above the state average, and the largest student-teacher ratio among local comparison schools at nearly 22 students per teacher.

Despite spending more per student than some higher-performing schools in the area, academic outcomes have declined in recent years. The school's effectiveness varies for different groups of students, with particularly low rankings for male students and students from military families. While the school serves a community with high economic need, other schools with similar student demographics, such as Dairyland Elementary in the Alview-Dairyland Union Elementary district, achieve stronger academic results, suggesting the challenges at Bryant Middle extend beyond demographics alone.
