Summary:

ZIP code 43506 covers Bryan, Ohio, and contains two public schools — Bryan Elementary serving grades PK–5 with 865 students and Bryan Middle School/High School serving grades 6–12 with 883 students — both part of the Bryan City district, for a combined enrollment of roughly 1,748 students; there is no standalone middle school or alternative school in this ZIP.

The two schools are heading in different directions. Bryan Elementary is the standout, earning 4 stars and ranking 380 of 1,560 schools (76th percentile) in 2025–26, up from the 71st percentile in 2023–24. Every listed tested subject in both 2024–25 and 2025–26 was above the state average, with an average gap of about +14 points — including 4th grade math at 87.2 vs. 67.3, 5th grade science at 82.4 vs. 62.7, and 3rd grade ELA at 81.7 vs. 63.4. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 9.0% is below the district's 12.4%. Bryan Middle School/High School has a strong 96.2% graduation rate and solid results in American History (82.3 vs. 73.2), American Government (79.6 vs. 71.6), and Algebra I (71.0 vs. 61.6). But its rank fell to 361 of 795 (55th percentile, 3 stars) from 74th percentile and 4 stars the prior year, its average gap above state narrowed from +8.6 to +4.3 points, and chronic absenteeism is 15.4%.

Two details stand out for families. First, 8th grade ELA is the most persistent weak spot at the secondary school, below state in both years (47.5 vs. 58.3 in 2025–26 and 48.4 vs. 54.4 in 2024–25), joined in 2025–26 by 7th grade ELA and 8th grade science; because there is no separate middle school, those middle-grade results sit inside the 6–12 building's overall profile. Second, the student-teacher ratio is identical at both schools (15.6 in 2024–25), so it does not explain the performance gap, and the available spending figures are from 2018–19 ($8,722 elementary, $9,767 middle/high) and cannot be tied to current outcomes. The free/reduced lunch percentage is blank in this data, so it is not available for analysis and should not be read as 0%.
