Academic infrastructure includes 3 of 25 schools offering Advanced Placement (42 AP courses district-wide), a 395.7:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 23.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 57.7% Hispanic or Latino, 19.8% African American, 18.0% White across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Mitchell El, with a diversity index of 70.9/100.
Its largest campus is Travis B Bryan H S, enrolling 2,426 students (16% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Brazos County Jjaep, at 9 students, a 270x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Travis B Bryan H S accounts for 15.1% of all Bryan Isd student enrollment
That concentration means Bryan Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Bryan Isd school enrollment varies 270× across entities
Bryan Isd school enrollment ranges from 9 students (lowest) to 2,426 students (highest), a spread of 2,417 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
The reported share sits between 62.5% and 75%, above a simple majority but below the highest descriptive band used here. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Bryan Isd student-counselor ratio is 396:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Bryan Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 23.2% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Bryan Isd is typically wider than the Bryan Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
