Brookville Elementary School

Summary:

Brookville Elementary School is a public elementary school in Graysville, Alabama, serving 187 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Jefferson County School District, which is ranked 97 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brookville Elementary has a diverse student population, with a significant African American (46.52%) and Hispanic (16.04%) representation, as well as a White majority (34.76%). Compared to nearby schools like Gardendale Elementary and Bagley Elementary, Brookville has a more balanced racial composition. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in Summative Assessments, is generally lower than the Jefferson County and Alabama state averages across various subjects and grade levels. Notably, Brookville's performance varies across different student subgroups, with the school ranking higher for Hispanic students compared to other subgroups, such as White students and students with low socioeconomic status.

Brookville Elementary has a high percentage of students (around 79%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of students from low-income families. This is higher than the nearby schools, suggesting that Brookville serves a more economically disadvantaged community. Despite this, the school's per-student spending of $10,432 is higher than the nearby schools, and its student-teacher ratio of 15.7 is lower, indicating a relatively smaller class size. These factors, combined with the school's diverse student population and varying academic performance, suggest that Brookville Elementary faces unique challenges in ensuring equitable educational outcomes for all students, and may require targeted interventions and support to address these disparities.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote I have had so many problems with the curricula with the lack of enthusiasm that some of the teachers have for teaching, helping the children who actually ask for more information and they seem bothered that they may have to help. It has caused my child who loved reading in one year to now have no interest in because the teacher is not engaging, the lack of information given to them for science, social studies etc. The math program is excellent but they need a complete education. It also depends on the who's who the hierarchy of the students and their families where you are on that depends on how you are treated. Major changed need to be done before this school is a school to be proud of for all not just the one's who's children get special treatment they will tell all who are willing to buy it how outstanding the school is but just take a look at the ratings here and listen to all opinions to see the majority of thoughts and census Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
