Brownwood High School has several strengths, including a strong 4-year graduation rate ranging from 93.1% to 96.6% over the past 5 years, which is higher than the state average. The school's dropout rate has also remained low, ranging from 1.0% to 1.6% during the same period, lower than the state average. However, the school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams is mixed, with the school performing well in subjects like U.S. History and English II Reading, but lagging behind in Algebra I and English I Reading. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking much higher for Multi-racial students (top 361 out of 677 in Texas) compared to English Language Learners (bottom 994 out of 1371 in Texas).

Compared to nearby schools, Brownwood High School's performance is generally on par with or slightly below Bangs High School, which is also part of the Brownwood Independent School District. However, it significantly outperforms the smaller and lower-ranked schools in the area, such as Brownwood Accelerated High School, Premier H S Of Comanche/Early, Lone Star H S West, and Mullin Oaks. However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, with a general downward trend, suggesting the need for the school to identify and address areas for improvement to maintain or improve its overall performance.

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.
