Summary:
The Browerville Public School District in Minnesota serves about 566 students across two schools: Browerville Elementary, which covers grades PK–6 with 275 students, and Browerville Secondary, which covers grades 7–12 with 291 students. There is no middle school or alternative school in the data. The district as a whole ranks 294th of 458 in the state — the 36th percentile, with 2 stars.
The clearest strength is math at Browerville Elementary, where 46.7% of students are proficient, above the district's 39.6% and the state's 44.9%. Third grade math is especially strong at 71.1%, beating the state's 57.9%. Browerville Secondary has its own bright spots: End-of-Course science is 36.6% against a state rate of 35.0%, and its dropout rate of 3.5% is better than the state's 4.2%. Notably, the elementary school has a higher free/reduced lunch rate (56%) than the secondary school (40.21%) yet still outperforms it and the state in math, so economics alone does not explain the differences.
Reading is the shared challenge. No grade level in either school meets the state reading rate, with gaps ranging from -5.9 points in 3rd grade to -22.1 points in 7th grade. Math strength also fades in later grades: 5th grade is 32.6% and 6th grade 26.8%, both below state, and secondary math trails state by roughly 8–9 points in grades 7, 8, and 11. Elementary science is weak at 16.3%, and 8th grade science is 12.5% versus the state's 16.7%. The secondary graduation rate is 78.9%, below the state's 84.9%. Browerville Elementary has also slipped in rank, from 54th percentile with 3 stars to 35th percentile with 2 stars.
