Summary

Brownwood High School in Brownwood, TX, is a mid-sized public school serving 935 students in grades 9-12, part of the Brownwood Independent School District (Isd), which holds a 3-star rating. The school has a mixed performance history, recently ranking in the 49th percentile (2 stars) for the 2025-2026 school year, a slight dip from a 3-star rating in the two prior years. Nearly half of its students (47.27%) are economically disadvantaged, as indicated by the free/reduced lunch rate.

When compared to nearby schools, Brownwood High School occupies a middle ground. It significantly underperforms Early High School, which ranks in the 80th percentile (4 stars) and is just 4.64 miles away. Brownwood’s test scores are generally below Early’s, especially in U.S. History (60.75% proficient vs. 84.88%) and English II (57.27% vs. 75%). However, Brownwood outperforms the state average in Biology (75.33% proficient vs. 70.51% state) and is competitive with Bangs High School in some subjects. The school also has a higher student-teacher ratio (13.5:1) than Early (11.4:1) and Bangs (9.5:1), and lower spending per student ($9,899 vs. $12,487 at Early and $11,043 at Bangs), which may affect individualized attention.

Despite middling test scores, Brownwood High School boasts a strong graduation rate of 94.2% and a very low dropout rate of 0.6%, showing it effectively keeps students on track to graduate. The school shows a "tale of two subjects," with Biology as a clear strength and U.S. History as a persistent weakness. Performance varies among student groups, with the Multi-racial group showing a dramatic improvement, while Gifted and Talented and Special Education programs have concerning volatility. The district’s alternative campus, Brownwood Accelerated High School, has a 100% graduation rate but serves a high-need population with lower test scores, providing important context for the district’s overall performance.
