Bryan Station High School

Summary:

Bryan Station High School is a public magnet high school located in Lexington, Kentucky, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,893 students. The school is part of the Fayette County School District, which is ranked 77 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Despite being a magnet school, Bryan Station High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky high schools, ranking between 181-224 out of 290 schools in the state for the past several years. The school has been rated 1-2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other high schools in Kentucky. While white students at the school perform significantly better than other student subgroups, Hispanic and Special Education students perform poorly, ranking in the bottom 25% of Kentucky high schools for these subgroups. The school's proficiency rates on ACT and Kentucky State Assessments (KSA) are also consistently lower than the Fayette County and statewide averages, particularly in mathematics.

When compared to other high schools in the Fayette County district, Bryan Station High School lags behind in several key metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and overall statewide rankings. For example, nearby schools like Henry Clay High School, STEAM Academy, and Frederick Douglass High School all outperform Bryan Station High School on measures of academic achievement and college readiness. Addressing the school's high poverty rate and providing additional resources and support for students from low-income backgrounds could be a key focus area for improvement.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
