Kenneth A. Brett School has consistently performed poorly on state assessments, with proficiency rates in both Mathematics and Reading significantly below the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's overall Mathematics proficiency rate was 22% compared to the state average of 42%, and the overall Reading proficiency rate was 33% compared to the state average of 55%. The school's performance is particularly low in 7th grade Mathematics, where only 10% of students were proficient, compared to the state average of 41%.

Despite the school's small size and low student-teacher ratio of 8:1, which are often considered positive factors, the academic struggles persist. This may be due to factors beyond just school size and staffing levels, such as the quality of instruction, curriculum, and support services. Additionally, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (53.85%) indicates that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which likely contributes to the academic difficulties and may require targeted interventions and resources to address the needs of these students.
