Brookwood Forest Elementary

Summary:

Brookwood Forest Elementary is a public elementary school in Porter, Texas, serving 942 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the New Caney Independent School District, which is ranked 712 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brookwood Forest Elementary stands out for its significantly higher Hispanic student population (around 70%) compared to nearby schools, which tend to have a more balanced racial distribution. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency was 49.51% compared to the state average of 48.85% and the district average of 38.76%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian and African American students performing relatively well, while Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students struggle, ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools.

Brookwood Forest Elementary faces several challenges, including a high percentage of students (around 84%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's spending per student ($10,287 in 2020-2021) is higher than the state average, which may be due to the high proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Compared to other elementary schools in the New Caney ISD, such as Bens Branch Elementary and Valley Ranch Elementary, Brookwood Forest Elementary generally underperforms academically, with lower test scores and lower rankings.

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.
