Best Public Schools in Zip Code 62418

The 62418 zip code area is home to 3 schools that serve grades from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade: Brownstown Elementary School, Brownstown High School, and Brownstown Junior High School. These schools, operated by Brownstown CUSD 201, face a mix of strengths and challenges, with some standout performance in certain areas but also room for improvement across the district.

Among the standout schools, Brownstown Junior High School performed well on English Language Arts assessments, with 55.6% of students proficient or better, compared to the district and state averages. However, the school struggled more with Mathematics, with only 19% of students proficient or better. Brownstown High School had a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89% and performed better on English Language Arts assessments, but faced challenges in Mathematics and Science.

Across the district, all three schools grappled with high chronic absenteeism rates of 25.4% and had a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. The differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools suggest potential disparities in resource allocation within the district. Addressing these issues, particularly the socioeconomic factors that may be contributing to the challenges, could be an area of focus for the district to improve overall academic performance.
