Summary

The Disciplinary Alternative Educational Program (DAEP) in Bryan, TX, is a specialized school within the Bryan Independent School District (ISD) serving just 81 students in grades 6 through 12 who have been removed from their regular campus due to disciplinary issues.

This school is fundamentally different from standard high schools in the area, and its most striking feature is its exceptionally high per-student spending of $79,617, which is dramatically more than nearby schools like Travis B. Bryan High School ($11,161) or Bryan Collegiate High School ($7,877). This high cost reflects the intensive staffing and support needed, including a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 6.2:1—less than half that of James Earl Rudder High School (13.2:1). Despite serving the district's most at-risk students, the DAEP has achieved a remarkable 0% dropout rate for five consecutive years, a major success story that stands in contrast to the 11.5% dropout rate at the nearby The Mary Catherine Harris School-School Of Choice, which shares its address but serves a different population.

Academic performance is predictably low, with many subjects showing 0% proficiency, though the school shows relative strength in English I and II Reading. The school's overall ranking places it in the 9th percentile statewide, a slight improvement from previous years. The contrast with the district's high-performing Bryan Collegiate High School (96th percentile) highlights the immense range of educational experiences within the same district. While the DAEP's test scores are low, its primary mission is keeping students connected to the educational system, and the zero dropout rate suggests it is succeeding in that critical goal.
