Bryker Woods Elementary

Summary:

Bryker Woods Elementary is a public elementary school in Austin, Texas, serving 293 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Austin Independent School District (AISD), which is ranked 554 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Bryker Woods Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages, maintaining a 5-star rating and ranking 371 out of 4,675 Texas elementary schools.

Bryker Woods Elementary's academic performance is exceptional, with proficiency rates in reading, math, and science that significantly exceed the AISD and Texas averages. For example, the school's 4th-grade reading proficiency rate was 86.27%, compared to 62.05% for AISD and 53.96% for Texas. The school also serves a diverse student population effectively, with high rankings for various subgroups, including female students, male students, Hispanic students, White students, and students with special education needs. Additionally, the school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 9.04% to 12.9%, suggests it serves a more affluent student population compared to the district and state averages.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Brentwood Elementary and Gullett Elementary, Bryker Woods Elementary stands out as a top-performing institution, often outranking its peers in academic achievement and student group performance. While the school excels in many areas, there may be opportunities to further support its African American and at-risk student populations, as their performance lags behind other subgroups. Additionally, the school's science proficiency rates, while still above the district and state averages, could be an area for targeted 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.

Open Quote Coming in as a volunteer, I noticed the teachers were very unkind to their students. They were impatient and their behavior was often worse than the students' in my opinion.
There is a high amount of privlaged white kids that are going to do fine on test scores but I worry about their social emotional health and what that can mean for our future. Close Quote

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.
