Summary:
The Brewster School District in Washington consists of four public schools serving about 1,000 students from preschool through high school, all of which face significant academic challenges in a high-poverty community.
Among the schools, Brewster High School has a notable strength with an 88% graduation rate that exceeds the state average, even though its students test well below average in math and science. Brewster Elementary School shows the most consistent test scores in the district and has the highest per-student spending, while Brewster Middle School generally falls between the elementary and high schools in performance.
The most urgent concern is the Brewster Alternative School, which has extremely low graduation and very high dropout rates for its small group of students. A key pattern across the district is that student proficiency, especially in math, declines sharply from elementary to high school, indicating a need for stronger academic support as students advance.
