Brown Elementary

Public Grades

Summary

Brown Elementary is a public elementary school located in Lubbock, Texas, serving grades 4-5 with a student population of 238. The school is part of the Lubbock Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 545 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brown Elementary faces significant challenges in providing quality education to its students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. This is significantly lower than the nearby schools, such as Wilson Elementary, which range from 1 to 5 stars. Brown Elementary's proficiency rates in STAAR Reading, Mathematics, and Science are also significantly lower than the Lubbock ISD and Texas state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 19.64% of 4th-grade students at Brown Elementary were proficient in STAAR Reading, compared to 48.85% for Lubbock ISD and 50.66% for Texas.

The school's challenges may be linked to its high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds, with over 94% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the nearby schools, which range from 24.14% to 98.04%. Despite the relatively low student-teacher ratio at Brown Elementary, ranging from 11 to 14 students per teacher, this does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Addressing the issues at Brown Elementary will likely require a multi-faceted approach that considers the unique needs and circumstances of the school and its community.
