Brookline Elementary

Summary:

Brookline Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 732 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Houston Independent School District (HISD), which is ranked 572 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brookline Elementary consistently outperforms the HISD and Texas state averages in STAAR test scores across multiple grade levels and subject areas, particularly in Reading and Mathematics. The school's performance is especially strong for its predominantly Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) student population, often ranking in the top 5-10% of Texas elementary schools for these subgroups. However, the school struggles to provide the same level of support for its Special Education and Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the bottom 25% of Texas elementary schools for these groups.

Compared to nearby schools, Brookline Elementary generally outperforms its HISD peers in academic metrics, but some local charter schools, such as Houston Gateway Academy, demonstrate even stronger academic performance. This suggests that Brookline Elementary could potentially learn from the strategies and best practices employed by these high-performing schools to further improve its support for all students, regardless of their academic or learning needs.

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.
