Brookfield Engineering Science Technology Academy

Summary:

Brookfield Engineering Science Technology Academy is an alternative public charter virtual school located in Julian, CA, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 379 students. The school is part of the Brookfield Engineering Science Technology Academy District.

Brookfield Engineering Science Technology Academy faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. In 2022-2023, the school had a low four-year graduation rate of 63.9%, significantly lower than the 100% rate at JCS - Pine Valley and 89.3% at Mountain Valley Academy. Brookfield also had a high dropout rate of 30.6%, compared to 0% at JCS - Pine Valley and 7.1% at Mountain Valley Academy. Academically, Brookfield consistently underperforms the state average in standardized tests, with only 34.62% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 55.73%.

Brookfield's challenges may be linked to its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 70.45% to 78.91% over the past three years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Additionally, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 23.8 to 35.6 over the past three years, which may contribute to its academic struggles. While Brookfield's virtual model appears effective at reducing chronic absenteeism, it does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Addressing the school's socioeconomic factors and exploring best practices from the higher-performing nearby schools, such as JCS - Pine Valley and Mountain Valley Academy, could be important steps in improving Brookfield's performance.

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.

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.
