Summary:
The Brownstown County Com School Corp district has only one elementary school, Brownstown Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and has an enrollment of 635 students. The school faces several challenges, including consistently low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population with significant economic disadvantages.
Brownstown Elementary School's test scores on the ILEARN assessments are generally below state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Math. For example, the school's proficiency rate in ELA for all grades was 31.62%, compared to the state average of 38.6% for 3rd grade, 41.8% for 4th grade, and 40.3% for 5th grade. In Math, the school's proficiency rate for all grades was 35.74%, while the state averages were 52.4% for 3rd grade, 48% for 4th grade, and 40.8% for 5th grade. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 15.2%, which is higher than the state average.
The data also suggests that Brownstown Elementary School faces socioeconomic challenges, with over half (54.96%) of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's spending per student for the 2021-2022 school year was $9,133, which is slightly lower than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio of 16.5 is slightly higher than the recommended ratio of 15:1 for elementary schools. These factors may contribute to the school's academic struggles and indicate a need for increased resources and targeted interventions to support student success.
