Summary

Bryan Elementary is a PK–5 school in Bryan, Ohio, serving 865 students in the Bryan City district, which makes it one of the larger elementary schools in the surrounding area. It is rated 4 stars and ranked 380 of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–26 (76th percentile), placing it above the state median and above its own district, which is rated 3 stars. The school has held a 4-star rating since 2022–23, up from a consistent 3-star run in the mid-to-late 2010s.

Academically, Bryan outperformed the Ohio state proficiency rate on every reported 2025–26 test, with the largest gaps in 4th-grade math (87.2% vs. 67.3%), 5th-grade science (82.4% vs. 62.7%), and 3rd-grade ELA (81.7% vs. 63.4%). The relative soft spot is 5th-grade math, at 61.6% versus the state's 59.1% — only 2.5 points above the state and lower than the school's own 3rd- and 4th-grade math results. The school is also unusually effective with student groups that often lag statewide: low-income students rank in the 94th percentile and special education students in the 91st percentile, both at 5 stars. Chronic absenteeism has fallen from 18.6% in 2021–22 to 9.0% in 2025–26, now below the district's 12.4%.

Compared with nearby schools, Bryan is solidly above average but not top-tier. It outperforms Defiance Elementary School and North Central Elementary School by wide margins and is similar to Tinora Elementary School overall, but trails Hicksville Elementary School, Archbold Elementary School, Edgerton Elementary School, and Fairview Elementary School, especially in math and science at certain grades. Notably, Bryan reports the lowest per-student spending ($8,722 in 2018–19) among the nearby schools listed, yet still performs above the state average and ahead of higher-spending peers.
