Brunswick Junior High School is a public middle school serving 537 students in grades 6-8 in Brunswick, Maine. It is part of the Brunswick Public Schools district, which is ranked 41 out of 176 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Brunswick Junior High School has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Maine middle schools over the past 10 years, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Brunswick Junior High School outperforms the state and district averages in standardized test scores across English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 69.94% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 63.84% statewide, and 50.19% were proficient or better in Math, compared to 49.38% statewide. However, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as male students, Hispanic students, multi-racial students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students, lags behind the state and district averages, suggesting a need to address equity concerns.

Brunswick Junior High School's chronic absenteeism rate has fluctuated between 14.7% and 25.5% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10 to 10.7, is a positive factor. Compared to nearby high-performing middle schools like Falmouth Middle School, Greely Middle School, and Frank H. Harrison Middle School, Brunswick Junior High School performs well, but there are opportunities for collaboration and sharing of best practices to further improve student outcomes.
