Summary:
The Brooklyn Center School District in Minnesota operates three elementary schools, serving students from early childhood through 5th grade. While the district aims to provide quality education, the data reveals that these schools are struggling academically, with consistently low test scores and poor rankings compared to other Minnesota elementary schools.
None of the three schools - Brooklyn Center Elementary School, Brooklyn Center ECSE Age 3 - 5, and Early Childhood Special Education - stand out as high-performing. The proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science at Brooklyn Center Elementary School are significantly below state averages, ranging from just 6.72% to 17.7% of students scoring proficient or better. The district as a whole is ranked in the bottom 10% of Minnesota school districts, with Brooklyn Center Elementary School ranking 816 out of 845 elementary schools in the state.
Socioeconomic challenges may be a contributing factor, as all three schools have very high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 82.35% to 84.24%. The district also serves a diverse student population, with significant African American, Hispanic, and Asian representation, but a relatively small percentage of white students (5.34% to 17.65%). While the presence of specialized early childhood programs suggests the district's efforts to support its youngest learners, the overall data indicates that the Brooklyn Center School District faces significant hurdles in providing a high-quality education for its students.
