Summary:
The city of Brownstown, Illinois is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Brownstown CUSD 201 district. While the schools face some common challenges, such as high rates of free and reduced lunch, one school stands out as a top performer in the area.
Brownstown Junior High School is the highest-achieving school in the district, with strong test scores and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly higher than the district and state averages. In contrast, Brownstown Elementary School has lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state, particularly in 3rd and 5th grades.
While Brownstown High School has a lower 2-star rating, it has shown some positive metrics, such as a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 80% and a lower dropout rate of 4.3% compared to the state average. However, the high school has low proficiency rates in SAT Mathematics at 12%. Addressing attendance issues, which are highest at the junior high level, and providing targeted support for economically disadvantaged students could be key focus areas for improvement across the district.
