High Schools in Brewster School District

The Brewster School District in Washington state is home to two high schools: Brewster High School and Brewster Alternative School. While Brewster High School is the larger and higher-performing of the two, the data reveals significant disparities in the academic and graduation outcomes between the two schools.

Brewster High School has a student population of 300 and a relatively strong four-year graduation rate of 92%. However, its academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts (58.75%) and Math (13.75%) are below the state averages. In contrast, Brewster Alternative School, with only 17 students, struggles with a much lower four-year graduation rate of 40% and a concerning dropout rate of 60%. The racial makeup of both schools is predominantly Hispanic, raising concerns about equity and access to resources.

The funding and resource allocation between the two schools also appear to be unbalanced, with Brewster High School spending $18,130 per student and Brewster Alternative School spending only $11,043 per student. This disparity in funding may contribute to the performance gap and highlights the need for the Brewster School District to address the unique challenges faced by alternative schools and implement targeted interventions to support all students in the district.
