What Parents Should Know

At 6:1 students to teachers, Bryant Montessori Middle School sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.
49% of students at Bryant Montessori Middle School were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average. Chronic absenteeism means missing 15 or more school days, and at high rates it drags on classroom pacing for everyone. Ask what the school does to help families get kids to class consistently.
