Within the district, a few schools stand out for their strong performance. Woodland Heights Elementary and East Elementary are both high-performing elementary schools, ranking in the top 40% and 25% of Texas elementary schools respectively and earning 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger.

However, the district also has some underperforming schools, such as Coggin Elementary and Northwest Elementary, which rank in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools and struggle to meet state standards on STAAR tests. Additionally, the district as a whole has high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating potential socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student outcomes. Overall, the Brownwood ISD presents a mix of high-performing and underperforming schools, suggesting opportunities for the district to learn from its top-performing schools and implement strategies to raise achievement across the board.
