Summary

Bryant Opportunity Academy is an elementary school in Wichita, Kansas that serves 29 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. It is part of the Wichita school district, which is ranked 245 out of 264 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bryant Opportunity Academy consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Kansas, with proficiency rates well below the state and district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 3.22% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 28.89% in Wichita and 44.47% statewide. The school also has alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 71.4% in the 2021-2022 school year, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Despite the school's extremely low student performance and high chronic absenteeism, it has an exceptionally high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 87.88% to 92.11% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past three years. Additionally, the school has an extremely low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 2 to 2.8 students per teacher, and spends significantly more per student ($57,210 in 2018-2019) compared to nearby schools, which spend between $9,478 and $13,790 per student. These factors suggest that the current approach at Bryant Opportunity Academy is not effectively addressing the needs of its students, and a more comprehensive intervention strategy may be necessary to improve outcomes.
