Park Brook Elementary

Summary:

Park Brook Elementary is a public elementary school located in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 293. The school is part of the Osseo Public School District, which is ranked 289 out of 463 districts in Minnesota and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Park Brook Elementary faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with large achievement gaps between racial subgroups and English Language Learner (ELL) students. The school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Minnesota elementary schools, with proficiency rates on the MCA-III assessments that are significantly below the district and state averages. This is despite the school having a relatively low student-teacher ratio. The high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 66.83% to 83.28% over the past 3 years, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the academic struggles at Park Brook Elementary.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools in the Osseo district, Park Brook Elementary generally performs worse academically. For example, Birch Grove School For The Arts and Edinbrook Elementary both outperform Park Brook on MCA-III assessments. The school's high percentage of minority students, including 36.52% African American, 15.02% Hispanic, and 30.03% Asian, also highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the significant achievement gaps between racial subgroups.

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.
