Brownville School

Summary:

Brownville School is an elementary school serving grades 3-6 in the General Brown Central School District in Brownville, NY. With a student population of 409, the school is predominantly White (91.69%) and has been rated 1-2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger in recent years, indicating below-average performance compared to other New York elementary schools.

Brownville School faces several challenges, including consistently lower proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments compared to state averages, a lack of racial diversity, and a high percentage of students (48.66%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite spending significantly more per student ($12,840) than the state average, the school's academic outcomes have not improved, and its statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years. In contrast, the nearby schools, such as Dexter Elementary School, Maynard P. Wilson Elementary School, and Black River School, generally outperform Brownville School on test scores and other metrics, despite serving similar student populations.

The higher student-teacher ratio (17.9) at Brownville School may also contribute to the lower academic performance, and the school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White students and students with special needs. These findings suggest that the General Brown Central School District needs to closely examine the factors contributing to Brownville School's underperformance and implement targeted strategies to address these issues and improve student learning outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
