Bryan Adams High School is a public secondary school located at 2101 Millmar Drive in the Casa View neighborhood of East Dallas, Texas (USA). Bryan Adams High School enrolls students in grades 9-12 and is a part of the Dallas Independent School District. The school serves the area of Dallas east of White Rock Lake, south of Northwest Highway, north of Interstate 30, and inside the Dallas city limits. == History == Bryan Adams High School opened in 1957 and was named after William Jennings Bryan Adams, a DISD Board of Education secretary from 1929 until his death in 1955.〔Kristopher Rupert. (The History of Bryan Adams and the Traditions of the School ) (40th anniversary, 1997)〕 The building was constructed at a cost of US$2.4 million〔"New schools to open in September," ''The Dallas Morning News'', March 31, 1957, part 3, page 1.〕 and was designed by the architectural firm of Goodwin & Cavitt using the same pattern as their building for Thomas Jefferson High School, which opened in 1955.〔"Plans for school authorized on Earhart building pattern," ''The Dallas Morning News'', October 12, 1956, section 1, page 5.〕 Students and alumni almost always refer to the school as 'Bryan Adams,' or simply by the acronym 'B.A.' While 'Adams High School' is the name of several high schools throughout the United States, there is only one 'Bryan Adams High School.' It has no connection to Canadian singer Bryan Adams. In the late 1960s and early 1970s Bryan Adams was one of the largest high schools in Texas, graduating more than 1,000 students in each of the years from 1968 to 1972. Since the opening of Conrad High School in 2006, B.A. has seen a noticeable decline in enrollment, dropping from the UIL largest classification for the first time in the 2008 realignment. On October 6, 2010, the Dallas Independent School District announced that Bryan Adams would be reorganized after receiving the state's lowest rating for two straight years. The reorganization would took place for the 2011-2012 school year in a process known as "reconstitution," according to DISD spokesman Jon Dahlander. State law requires the academic shakeup for campuses that consistently are rated "academically unacceptable." Campus review teams at the schools, consisting of an internal and external member, will review students' performance on the state exam to determine which teachers should leave the schools, Dahlander said. Bryan Adams high school is on the low-performing list for its graduation rate, he said.http://dallasisdblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2010/10/four-disd-schools-to-be-reorga.html In 2014-2015 School year STAAR scores were raised up by 30% showing improvements of previous STAAR scores. In 2015, DISD started a school of choice program for many schools in Dallas and Bryan Adams will begin to phase in a school-wide leadership model in a three- to five-year plan. Bryan Adams is among seven Dallas ISD choice schools that are planned to launch in the next couple of years. Unlike magnet schools, choice schools will not have any academic entry requirements. Enrollment is open to students district-wide, but priority is given to students in the school’s attendance zone. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bryan Adams High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
