Brook Hill Elementary

Summary:

Brook Hill Elementary is a public elementary school located in Santa Rosa, California, serving 303 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Santa Rosa Elementary District, which is ranked 1107 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brook Hill Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates that have risen from 14.6% in 2017-2018 to 43.7% in 2022-2023, notably higher than nearby Proctor Terrace Elementary (28.9%) and Luther Burbank Elementary (46.4%), as well as the district and state averages. Academically, the school consistently performs below the Santa Rosa Elementary District and the state in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics, with only 18.92% of students proficient or better in ELA and 13.16% in Mathematics, compared to 31.28% and 23.68% in the district, respectively.

The high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 75.91% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, is likely a contributing factor to the school's challenges. While the student-teacher ratio of 18.3 is relatively high, the proximity to higher-performing schools, such as Proctor Terrace Elementary and Santa Rosa French-American Charter, presents an opportunity for collaboration and the sharing of best practices to support the students and families at Brook Hill Elementary.

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.
