Summary:
The Brass City Charter School District in Connecticut contains a single elementary school, Brass City Charter School, which serves students from grades K-8. The district as a whole is ranked 140th out of 156 districts in the state and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating it is a low-performing district.
Brass City Charter School does not appear to be a standout school within the district or the state. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 289th out of 493 Connecticut elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 354th out of 491 in 2022-2023. The school is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, suggesting it is performing below average compared to other schools in the state. The school's academic performance is inconsistent, with some grade levels performing better than others, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Math proficiency rates are particularly low, ranging from 16.7% to 20%, and the 8th grade Science proficiency rate is also low at 20%, compared to the state average of 50.3%.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance remains below the state average. This suggests that simply allocating more resources may not be enough to improve student outcomes, and the school may need to focus on more targeted interventions and strategies. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 67.22% in the 2023-2024 school year, indicates that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the school's lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism rates.
