198^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 217 Utah Middle Schools

Better than 9% of Utah middle schools

Summary

Salt Lake Center for Science Education Bryant is a small public middle school in Salt Lake City serving grades 7–8, with 348 students and a relatively high level of student need. The school is part of the Salt Lake District, which ranks around the 35th percentile among Utah districts. About 69.83% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, and the student-teacher ratio was 15.2:1.

Academic results are a major concern. Bryant ranked 198th of 217 Utah schools in 2025–2026, at the 9th percentile, down from the 13th percentile the previous year. Across six grade 7–8 subject tests, approximately 24.9% of Bryant students were proficient, compared with approximately 44.9% in the district and 45.4% statewide. Every reported result was below district and state averages. Grade 8 math was the clearest weakness at 14.9%, while grade 7 science fell to 23.9%. Results declined across all six tested areas compared with 2023–2024, suggesting a broad challenge rather than a problem limited to one subject.

Attendance is another important issue: chronic absenteeism rose sharply to 34.6% in 2024–2025, higher than every listed nearby school, including Hillside Middle, Clayton Middle, Wasatch Junior High, and Mueller Park Junior High. Bryant performs slightly above Northwest Middle and is close to Granite Park Junior High, but trails higher-performing schools such as Hillside Middle, Clayton Middle, and Wasatch Junior High. The most important improvement priorities are attendance, grade 8 math, grade 7 science, and support for economically disadvantaged students.
