Summary:
The city of Brook Park, Ohio has only one public elementary school, Brook Park Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4 with an enrollment of 947 students. The school has seen a decline in its state-wide ranking and rating over the past few years, dropping from 676 out of 1,588 Ohio elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 902 out of 1,577 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars.
Academically, Brook Park Elementary School's proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) for 3rd and 4th grades are below the Berea City district and state-wide averages. For example, in 4th grade Mathematics, the school had a 64.3% proficiency rate, compared to 75.6% for the Berea City district and 67.2% for the state of Ohio. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.9%, which may be contributing to its academic challenges.
While Brook Park Elementary School has a diverse student population, with significant Hispanic and African American representation, the data does not provide information on performance gaps between these groups and the White majority population. The school's per-student spending of $9,751 in 2018-2019 appears to be in line with state averages, but the impact of this funding on student outcomes is unclear. Overall, the analysis suggests that Brook Park Elementary School is struggling to maintain its academic standards and may need to implement strategies to address its declining performance and high chronic absenteeism rates.
