Brownfield Independent School District (Isd)

The Brownfield Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative school). The district serves a predominantly Hispanic student population, with high rates of economic disadvantage as indicated by the large percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Brownfield High School stands out as the district's top performer, with the highest 4-year graduation rate at 98.9% and the lowest dropout rate at 0.4%. While its test scores are below the state average, they are generally higher than the district average across the various STAAR EOC exams. In contrast, the Brownfield Education Center, an alternative high school, has a 100% 4-year graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, but its test scores are significantly lower than the district and state averages.

The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance between the schools in the Brownfield ISD and the state averages, particularly at the elementary and middle school levels. This suggests that the district may need to focus on improving educational outcomes, potentially by addressing the economic challenges faced by the student population. The success of the Brownfield Education Center, however, highlights the district's ability to effectively serve students who may have struggled in a traditional high school setting.
