While Brunswick High has a strong 92.8% four-year graduation rate, it also has a higher 4.5% dropout rate. The district's performance on state assessments varies, with some schools and grade levels exceeding state averages while others lag behind, suggesting potential equity concerns that warrant further investigation.
