Lowell Brune has a high percentage of students from disadvantaged backgrounds, with 75.11% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.7% to 41.2% over the past few years.

Compared to nearby schools in the Kansas City district, such as Welborn Elementary, Lindbergh Elementary, and Stony Point South, Lowell Brune's academic performance is generally lower, even though these schools also have high percentages of students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
