Brookfield

Summary:

Brookfield is an elementary school located in Brockton, Massachusetts, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 431. The school is part of the Brockton school district, which is ranked 325 out of 351 districts in Massachusetts and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brookfield consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Massachusetts elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in MCAS Next Generation assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the state and district averages. Additionally, Brookfield's student-teacher ratio is relatively high, ranging from 12.9 to 17.3 over the past three years, which is higher than the state average. Despite the higher spending per student at Brookfield, the school's academic performance remains poor, indicating that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes.

Interestingly, the nearby Dr. W. Arnone Community School, Downey, and Mary E. Baker School in the Brockton district also serve predominantly minority student populations but have higher proficiency rates and better overall performance compared to Brookfield. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional practices to better support its students and address the unique challenges they face.

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.
