Summary:
The 35073 zip code area is home to a single public elementary school, Brookville Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 with an enrollment of 187 students. While the school has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American and Hispanic students compared to the state average, its academic performance on standardized tests is generally below the Jefferson County and Alabama state averages.
Brookville Elementary School's standardized test scores in Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts consistently lag behind the district and state, with only 38.71% of 3rd graders proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 30.63% in Jefferson County and 42.16% statewide. The school's per-student spending is above the state average, but with a high percentage of students (79.14%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may impact academic performance and resource allocation.
Despite the school's relatively small class size, with a student-teacher ratio of 15.7, the consistent underperformance on standardized tests suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to help improve student outcomes. The data highlights the importance of considering contextual factors, such as socioeconomic status and resource allocation, when evaluating the performance of a school, as simply comparing test scores may not provide a complete picture of the school's challenges and opportunities.
