Brass City Charter School District

The Brass City Charter School District in Connecticut is home to a single elementary school, Brass City Charter School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 360 students. Despite its small size, the school stands out for its strong academic performance in the early grades, diverse student population, and fluctuating school ranking.

Brass City Charter School's 3rd-grade students significantly outperformed the state average in both English Language Arts (78.9% proficient or better vs. 45.9% statewide) and Mathematics (86.8% proficient or better vs. 51.3% statewide) in the 2023-2024 school year. The school also boasts a diverse student body, with a majority of Hispanic (52.5%) and African American (32.78%) students. However, the school's performance declines in the upper grades, with 6th-grade ELA and Math proficiency rates well below the state average.

Despite its academic strengths in the early grades, Brass City Charter School faces challenges in maintaining consistent performance across all grade levels. With over 57% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a high-needs population, which may require additional resources and support. The school's ranking has also fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 274th to 354th out of Connecticut elementary schools, indicating the need for further analysis to identify opportunities for improvement and better serve its diverse student population.
