Summary:
Browerville Public School District in central Minnesota has just one high school: Browerville Secondary, which serves grades 7–12 and enrolls 291 students in Browerville. Because it is the only school serving these grades, it is the full picture of secondary education in the district, so families should compare it with district and state averages rather than with other local high schools.
Several things stand out positively at Browerville Secondary. Its dropout rate is 3.5%, better than the state's 4.2%, and its student-teacher ratio of 7.1 is very low, suggesting small classes and strong staffing. Science is the academic bright spot: End-of-Course science proficiency is 36.6%, above the state's 35%, and all-grades science is 22.7%, above the district's 20.7%. Science also improved slightly year over year while the state declined. With roughly 49 students per grade, though, a single year's numbers can swing a lot, so these results should be read alongside longer-term trends.
Challenges are concentrated in reading and math. All-grades reading is 30.4% versus the state's 48.6%, a gap of 18.2 points, and 7th-grade reading is 21.4% versus 43.5% — the largest single-grade gap in the data. All-grades math is 30.9% versus the state's 44.9%, and math fell 9.4 points from the prior year, far steeper than the district's 4.84-point and the state's 0.31-point declines; reading fell 8.17 points. 8th-grade science is 12.5% versus the state's 16.7%. Graduation is 78.9%, below the state's 84.9%, and the school's rank percentile slipped from 49 to 45 (260th of 473, 2 stars).
