Summary

Bryant Middle School in Dearborn, MI, is a 6th-8th grade school serving 781 students as part of the Dearborn City School District. It has earned a 4-star rating and ranks in the 78th percentile statewide, making it a strong, stable choice for families in the area.

What truly sets Bryant apart is its remarkable success with students from low-income backgrounds. In the most recent school year, this group ranked in the 91st percentile statewide—a 5-star performance and a huge jump from just two years prior. This tells parents that Bryant is highly effective at helping all students succeed, regardless of economic challenges. Academically, Bryant outperforms both its district and the state in English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels. For example, 6th-grade math proficiency sits at 56.7%, compared to 42.3% for the district and just 31.9% statewide. When compared to nearby schools, Bryant is the clear top performer in its district, ranking significantly higher than Stout Middle School and Smith Middle School. Notably, Bryant achieves these results while spending less per student ($17,523) than those lower-performing peers, demonstrating efficient use of resources.

However, there are areas for improvement. While the school excels with low-income students, its English Language Learner population ranks in the 38th percentile, suggesting a need for more specialized support. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern at 26.4%, though academic performance remains high despite this. Additionally, 8th-grade science proficiency (30.2%) lags behind the state average (39.2%), indicating that the school's strengths are concentrated in literacy and math. There is also a gender gap, with male students outperforming female students by a noticeable margin. For parents, Bryant offers a rigorous, effective education in core subjects, particularly for students who may face economic barriers, but it's worth asking about ELL support and science enrichment if those are priorities for your child.
