Summary:

Brookwood Elementary School is a public elementary school in Dalton, Georgia, serving 724 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Dalton Public Schools district, which is ranked 112 out of 203 districts in the state.

Brookwood Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state in academic achievement, with 5th-grade students scoring 63.4% proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 51.7% for the district and 48.2% for the state. The school has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, ranking in the top 25-30% of Georgia elementary schools. Brookwood also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to the district average.

While Brookwood Elementary serves a significant population of students from low-income families, the school's academic performance is still strong, outpacing nearby schools like Park Creek Elementary, Westwood Elementary, and Roan Elementary in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, there is still room for improvement, particularly in science proficiency and closing achievement gaps for certain student subgroups.

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.
