The school is part of the Lake Region Union Elementary Middle School District, which is ranked 37 out of 72 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Brownington Central School has struggled compared to state averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics below the state averages across most grade levels.

Brownington Central School serves a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, with 60.36% to 61.68% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past three school years. This is significantly higher than the nearby Glover Community School (46.15%) and Irasburg Village School (59.42%), suggesting that Brownington Central School faces additional challenges in supporting its student population. The school's higher student-teacher ratio of 13.5, compared to 10.0 at Glover Community School and 7.5 at Irasburg Village School, may also be a contributing factor to its academic performance.
