While the school has a predominantly white student population, it faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate and fluctuating academic performance.

Brooksville Elementary School has seen its statewide ranking decline in recent years, dropping from 90 out of 210 Maine elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 144 out of 290 in 2022-2023. However, the school does excel in English Language Arts, with 73.08% of students proficient or better, outperforming both the Brooksville Public Schools district and the state average. In contrast, the school's Mathematics performance is slightly below the district and state averages, with 42.31% of students proficient or better.

One notable characteristic of Brooksville Elementary School is its low student-teacher ratio of 4.8, which is significantly lower than the typical ratio in schools. Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a higher socioeconomic status among the student population. While these factors may contribute to the school's academic strengths, the high chronic absenteeism rate of 51.1% remains a significant concern that the school and district will need to address to improve overall student outcomes.
