The data reveals that Brown County High School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, with strong academic proficiency rates that exceed state averages.

The high school outperforms the state and district averages in ACT/English Language Arts, ACT/Mathematics, and ACT/Science for 11th-grade students. In contrast, the elementary and middle schools in the district have proficiency rates in IAR/English Language Arts and IAR/Mathematics that are below the state averages, though the 3rd-grade proficiency rates at the elementary school are closer to the state levels.
The data also shows variations in student demographics and resource allocation across the schools. Brown County Elementary School has a relatively high percentage of free/reduced-price lunch recipients, while the high school has a lower percentage. The per-student spending and student-teacher ratios indicate that the district allocates more resources to the high school compared to the elementary and middle schools, raising questions about the equity of resource distribution and its potential impact on student outcomes across the different school levels.
