Summary:

The Brewster Central School District in New York is home to a single high school, Brewster High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has some areas of strength, it also faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, attendance, and resource allocation.

Brewster High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 621 out of 1,242 high schools in 2023-2024 to 660 out of 1,234 in 2024-2025, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's four-year graduation rate of 84.3% in 2023-2024 is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.5% is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% in 2023-2024 is significantly higher than the state average, which is a concerning issue that may be contributing to the school's academic challenges.

Brewster High School's performance on Regents exams varies widely across subject areas, with some subjects like Algebra II and Geometry showing strong proficiency rates (over 95%) compared to the state average, while others like Living Environment and Earth Science have much lower proficiency rates. The school's particularly low performance on the Common Core Algebra I exam, with only 10% of students proficient in 2023-2024 compared to the state average of 31.42%, suggests the need for curriculum and instructional improvements in certain subject areas. Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio, the uneven academic performance indicates that the district may need to re-evaluate how these resources are being utilized to drive better student outcomes.
