Brown City Community Schools

The Brown City Community Schools district in Michigan consists of two schools: Brown City Elementary School and Brown City High School. While Brown City Elementary School generally performs better than the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Science, Brown City High School struggles across most subject areas, with significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state.

The data suggests that Brown City Elementary School is a standout, with relatively high proficiency rates in 4th and 5th grade M-Step English Language Arts and 5th grade M-Step Science. Additionally, Brown City High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 91.5%. However, the high school also has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 24.9%, which may be impacting its academic outcomes.

Both schools have a predominantly white student population, with over 90% of students identifying as white. The high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools, 68.13% at the elementary school and 60.62% at the high school, suggest a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The district may benefit from further investigation into the root causes of these differences and targeted interventions to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
