Summary

Bryant Montessori Middle School is a small public school in Tacoma, Washington, serving grades 6–8 with 135 students in the Tacoma School District, near Hilltop Heritage Middle School and several other Tacoma middle schools. Its latest statewide ranking is the 45th percentile, or 283rd out of 514 Washington middle schools, an improvement from the 28th percentile the previous year but below its 72nd-percentile performance in 2022–23. Bryant’s very small enrollment and reported student-teacher ratio of 5.9 are unusual compared with nearby schools, most of which enroll roughly 368–650 students and report ratios between 17.7 and 20.7.

Academically, English language arts is Bryant’s clearest strength. The school’s 50.36% ELA proficiency rate is above the district’s 44.33% and close to the state’s 52.81%; it is also similar to Truman Middle School and higher than results at Wainwright Intermediate School, Hilltop Heritage Middle School, and several others nearby. ELA performance is fairly consistent across grades, ranging from 47.73% to 52.83%. Math is the main concern: 27.54% of students are proficient, compared with 43.11% statewide. Sixth-grade math is stronger at 35.85%, but results fall to 21.43% in seventh grade and 23.26% in eighth grade. Science is near the district average at 43.18%.

Bryant sits between higher-performing nearby schools such as Mason Middle School, Meeker Middle School, and Hunt Middle School, and lower-ranked schools including First Creek Middle School and Angelo Giaudrone Middle School. Its low-SES subgroup ranking, at the 26th percentile, trails the overall ranking, while special education performance was comparatively strong at the 60th percentile in 2024–25. The school’s recent recovery is encouraging, but the clearest priorities are strengthening math after sixth grade and making gains for economically disadvantaged students while preserving its relative ELA strength.
