Brook Glenn Elementary has a relatively diverse student population, with 40.76% White, 19.19% African American, 26.07% Hispanic, and 7.58% Asian students. However, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 87.44% in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than nearby schools like Pelham Road Elementary and Woodland Elementary.

While Brook Glenn Elementary's overall academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally lower than the nearby high-performing schools, it has shown some strengths.

Additionally, the school's African American and Hispanic students have ranked highly within their respective subgroups in recent years. However, the school's performance has been somewhat inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating over the years, suggesting the need for continued efforts to support the academic and social-emotional needs of its diverse student population.

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.
