Brunswick High demonstrates strengths in its consistently high graduation rates, ranging from 93.1% to 94.3% over the past few years, outperforming the state and district averages. However, the school faces challenges in mathematics proficiency, with only 21% of students proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to 26.5% for the state and 36.8% for the district. In specific math subjects, Brunswick High lags behind, with only 15.5% proficient or better in Algebra I, 33.3% in Algebra II, and 34.8% in Geometry.

Meanwhile, Boonsboro High, a school in the neighboring Washington County Public Schools district, outperforms Brunswick High in mathematics proficiency while maintaining similar ELA proficiency. The school's rising chronic absenteeism rate, reaching 25.8% in 2021-2022, is a significant concern that may be impacting its overall academic performance.
