Brewer Public Schools


Summary:

The Brewer Public Schools district in Maine consists of two schools: Brewer Community School, which serves grades pre-K through 8, and Brewer High School, which serves grades 9 through 12. While both schools have seen a decline in their state-wide rankings over the past three years, they face distinct challenges that parents should be aware of.

Brewer Community School has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.1% and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 35.63%. In contrast, Brewer High School has an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.5%, which is substantially above the state average, and a four-year graduation rate of 88.3%, slightly below the state average.

The Brewer Public Schools district may need to address these challenges, such as understanding the underlying causes of high chronic absenteeism and the impact of socioeconomic factors on student performance. Additionally, the district could examine any differences in academic outcomes or experiences among students of different racial backgrounds, as both schools have some racial diversity within their predominantly white student populations.
