While Rockbrook Elementary's academic performance is impressive, the relatively low percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients (20.36% in 2022-2023) and the racial makeup of the student population (79.27% White) may raise questions about equity and access to high-quality education for all students in the district. When compared to other nearby elementary schools in the Westside Community Schools district, such as Prairie Lane Elementary and Sunset Hills Elementary, Rockbrook Elementary maintains a slight edge in many areas, but the potential equity implications of these findings warrant further investigation.
