Brewer Public Schools

The Brewer Public Schools district in Maine consists of two schools: Brewer Community School, an elementary/middle school, and Brewer High School. Brewer Community School is a standout performer, ranking in the top 37% of Maine elementary schools, while Brewer High School is an average-performing high school, ranking in the top 51% of Maine high schools.

Academically, Brewer Community School outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency. In contrast, Brewer High School underperforms the district and state averages in Mathematics and Science proficiency, suggesting an opportunity for improvement in these subject areas. Both schools, however, face a challenge with high chronic absenteeism rates, which can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes.

The student demographics of the two schools also differ, with Brewer Community School having a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by its higher free/reduced lunch rate. This socioeconomic diversity should be considered when developing strategies to support student success across the district.
