Brick Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to state and district averages in M-Step test scores across all grade levels and subjects.

The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 38.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, 73.03% of Brick Elementary students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, much higher than the state average, and the school's special education students rank in the bottom 25% of Michigan elementary schools.
