Summary:
This analysis covers the single elementary school, Brewster Elementary School, serving grades PK-5 within the Brewster School District in Washington, a district that ranks in the bottom 11% statewide.
Brewster Elementary consistently ranks in the lower quarter of Washington elementary schools. Academically, student proficiency in English, math, and science is significantly below state averages, with a particularly sharp decline in math scores from 3rd to 5th grade. It's important to note the school serves a student population with a very high rate of economic need, which is a critical context for understanding its performance.
Despite these academic challenges, the school operates with a relatively low student-teacher ratio and per-student spending that is above the national average. This indicates that the issues may be more related to instructional strategies or systemic factors rather than a simple lack of resources. For parents, this suggests a school facing significant hurdles but one that has some foundational resources in place which could be leveraged for improvement with targeted support and effective programs.
