Best Public Schools in Brownsville, PA


Summary:

The city of Brownsville, Pennsylvania is home to three public schools serving grades K-12: Brownsville Area Elementary School, Brownsville Area High School, and Brownsville Area Middle School. These schools are part of the Brownsville Area School District, which is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing well below average compared to other districts in the state.

Based on the data, none of the Brownsville schools appear to be standout performers. All three schools have significantly lower proficiency rates on standardized tests compared to the state averages, with the elementary school having only 19.4% of students proficient or better in math, compared to the state average of 40.4%. The schools are also ranked in the bottom half of their respective categories when compared to other Pennsylvania schools. Additionally, the Brownsville Area School District as a whole is rated 1 out of 5 stars, suggesting systemic challenges within the district.

Further analysis reveals that the Brownsville schools face high poverty levels, with 100% of students at the elementary and middle schools qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the relatively low student-teacher ratios and higher-than-average per-student spending, the schools are not seeing commensurate improvements in student outcomes. This raises questions about the effective allocation of resources and the need for targeted interventions to address the root causes of the underperformance across the Brownsville school system.
