Summary

Bryan Elementary School in Plant City, FL, is a public school serving 618 students in grades PK-5 within the Hillsborough district, and it is currently in the midst of a promising academic turnaround, particularly in English Language Arts.

Bryan Elementary has shown the strongest recent academic improvement among nearby schools, climbing from the 26th percentile to the 39th percentile in state rankings over the past two years. This is a stark contrast to schools like Trapnell Elementary School and Jackson Elementary School, which have seen declining or stagnating scores. The most dramatic gains have been in English Language Arts, where proficiency rates jumped from the high 30s to 56-57% across all grade levels—an improvement unmatched by any other school in the area. However, math scores have not seen the same level of improvement, and the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 31.2% remains a persistent challenge, especially when compared to Dover Elementary, which has a much lower rate of 19.9% despite serving a similar population.

Interestingly, Bryan's success does not appear to be tied to spending. The school's per-student spending ($12,737) is near the middle of the pack, while the highest-spending school in the area, Burney Elementary School ($17,656 per student), is one of the lowest-performing. This suggests that Bryan's recent gains are driven by effective instructional strategies and school culture rather than budget size. The school has also shown consistent improvement in 5th-grade science, rising from 41% to 53% proficiency, which may be a leading indicator of its overall turnaround strategy taking hold across subjects.
