Summary:

The Brown Deer School District in Wisconsin operates two schools: Brown Deer Middle/High serving grades 6-12 with 925 students, and Brown Deer Elementary serving grades PK-5 with 722 students. While the middle/high school has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 91%, both schools struggle with low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates.

The Brown Deer Middle/High School has proficiency rates below the state average in most subjects and grade levels, despite spending $15,290 per student, which is higher than the state average. In contrast, the Brown Deer Elementary School has higher proficiency rates than the middle/high school in English Language Arts and Mathematics for the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades, though its proficiency rates in Science and Social Studies are still below the state average.

Both schools in the Brown Deer School District have a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which is significantly higher than the state average. This, along with the district-wide low academic performance, suggests systemic challenges that require a comprehensive approach to address instructional practices, student support services, and the broader socioeconomic factors impacting the district.
