Summary:

Brooklands Elementary School is a public elementary school in Rochester Hills, Michigan, serving 488 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Rochester Community School District, which is ranked 46th out of 610 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating.

Brooklands Elementary consistently ranks among the top 15% of Michigan elementary schools, with students performing significantly better than the state average in M-Step assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's diverse student population includes a higher percentage of Asian students (17.62%) compared to the state and district averages. While Brooklands ranks in the top 25% of Michigan elementary schools for its performance with special education students, its performance with low socioeconomic status (SES) students is relatively lower, ranking in the bottom 50%.

Compared to other Rochester Community School District elementary schools, Brooklands performs better academically across most grade levels and subject areas. However, nearby Troy School District elementary schools, such as Martell Elementary School, Wass Elementary School, and Troy Union Elementary School, generally outperform Brooklands, especially in Math and English Language Arts. This suggests that while Brooklands is a strong-performing school, there are opportunities for continued growth and improvement, particularly in addressing the needs of specific student subgroups and maintaining high attendance rates.

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.

Open Quote The school has great location, good discipline, high on child safety. They have some good teachers (and school staff!!) and some bad teachers. One NOT so good teacher was unfortunately my child’s 1st grade class teacher. We really had tough time with her! Every time we tried to do something creative or interesting we used to get NEGATIVE feedback from her. If we wanted any help, she used be all simle's and said she would do it immediately, then we had to follow-up with her for atleast 4-6 weeks, finally we got fed-up and gave up asking her.

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.
