The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Brewer Elementary School, ranging from 96.44% to 96.77% over the past few years, may be a significant factor contributing to the school's poor academic performance. Additionally, the school's location in a high-poverty area of Columbus could be exacerbating the challenges faced by students and teachers.
