Brass City Charter School District

Brass City Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Brass City Charter School District in Connecticut. With a total enrollment of 363 students, the school faces challenges in academic performance, with test scores generally below district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Brass City Charter School has seen a decline in its performance and ranking over the past three school years, dropping from a 2-star rating to a 1-star rating and falling from 295 out of 497 schools to 354 out of 491 schools in the state. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% is also higher than the state average, which may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by the school.

While Brass City Charter School is not a standout school in the district or the state, the data suggests that the school and district leadership may need to closely examine the underlying factors contributing to the lower academic achievement and develop targeted interventions and support services to help students succeed, particularly in addressing the high poverty levels and chronic absenteeism within the school community.
