Summary:

Brown City Community Schools has one elementary school, Brown City Elementary School, serving students in grades K-6. The school's performance has been average compared to other Michigan elementary schools, with fluctuating statewide rankings and mixed academic proficiency rates across grade levels.

Brown City Elementary School's statewide ranking has ranged from 614th out of 1,488 schools in 2024-2025 to 607th out of 1,486 in 2023-2024, and it is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. While the school's 3rd and 4th-grade proficiency rates in M-Step/Math were above the state average, its 5th and 6th-grade proficiency rates in both M-Step/English Language Arts and M-Step/Math were below the state average. The school's 5th-grade proficiency rates in M-Step/Science and Social Studies were close to the state average.

Socioeconomic factors may be impacting the school's performance, as it has a high percentage of students (68.12%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch and a chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which is higher than the state average. The school's per-student spending of $15,291 is also higher than the state average, suggesting that resources are being allocated to the school, but the academic performance data indicates that these resources may not be translating into consistent student outcomes. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions, professional development, and community partnerships could help Brown City Community Schools improve the performance of its sole elementary school.
