Summary

Brown Elementary School in New Boston, MI, serves 434 students in grades 1-5 as part of the Huron School District, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 77th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year.

Brown Elementary consistently outperforms both district and state averages across nearly all subjects and grade levels. In the most recent testing year, math proficiency rates ranged from 54-59% compared to state averages of 32-43%, while English Language Arts proficiency hit 47-57% versus state averages of 38-44%. The school's 5th grade performance is particularly strong—57% proficient in ELA, 54.4% in Math, and 50.6% in Science, all well above state benchmarks. Perhaps most impressive is the school's exceptional work with Hispanic students, ranking 2nd out of 209 schools statewide for Hispanic student achievement—a 99th percentile placement. The school also shows notable strength serving Special Education and low-income students, ranking in the 77th percentile for both groups. Between 2024-2025 and 2025-2026, the school made dramatic gains, including a 24.5 percentage point jump in 3rd grade math proficiency. Chronic absenteeism has also fallen from 29.6% to 19.4% over three years, well below both district (22.2%) and state (27.9%) averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Brown ranks among the top in the area—comparable to Hunter Elementary (81st percentile) and ahead of Wegienka Elementary (69th percentile), while far outpacing Summit Academy North Elementary School (17th percentile) and John M Barnes Elementary (30th percentile). With a student-teacher ratio of 14.7:1 and spending of $16,620 per student, the school achieves strong results efficiently. While the school excels across many subgroups, there remains an opportunity to focus on female student achievement (69th percentile) and White student performance (64th percentile), which trail the school's overall ranking. With its upward trajectory and equity-focused gains, Brown Elementary is well-positioned for continued success.
