Brentwood Elementary

Summary:

Brentwood Elementary is a public elementary school located in Victorville, California, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 876 students. The school is part of the Victor Elementary District, which is ranked 1210 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brentwood Elementary faces significant challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 49.3%, which is notably higher than the district average of 39.5% at Liberty Elementary and 44.9% at Puesta del Sol Elementary. Academically, the school consistently underperforms compared to the district and the state of California in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics, with only 15.34% of Brentwood students proficient or better in ELA and just 7.41% in Mathematics. The school also struggles across various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10% of California elementary schools for African American, Hispanic, and Low Socioeconomic Status students in both ELA and Mathematics.

While Brentwood Elementary is part of the Victor Elementary District, it consistently underperforms compared to other schools within the same district, such as Challenger School of Sports and Fitness and Discovery School of the Arts, which significantly outperform Brentwood Elementary in academic assessments. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and free and reduced lunch recipients at Brentwood Elementary, reaching 94.86% in 2021-2022, may be contributing factors to the school's low academic performance. Addressing these issues will require a multi-faceted approach, involving targeted interventions, increased resources, and collaboration with the community to support the students and their families.

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.
