Summary:
Browns Elementary is the sole public elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Browns Elementary District, located in Rio Oso, California. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 2,923 out of 5,883 California elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 3,611 out of 5,862 in 2023-2024. Additionally, Browns Elementary has consistently underperformed on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science lagging behind the state averages.
The school faces several challenges, including a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 5.6% for the 2022-2023 school year and a student-teacher ratio of 17.4, which is on the higher end compared to recommended ratios for elementary schools. These factors, combined with the school's socioeconomic demographics, as evidenced by the high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients (40.98%), may be contributing to the academic struggles observed at Browns Elementary.

Further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these issues and improve the educational outcomes for the students at the school.
