Brookfield Elementary faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (50.14%) than surrounding schools, which range from 6.46% to 23.46% Hispanic. Brookfield Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Virginia elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, significantly lower than the 2-star to 5-star ratings of nearby schools like London Towne Elementary and Powell Elementary. The school's student performance on SOL tests is consistently lower than the Fairfax County and Virginia state averages, and it has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.71% to 68.38%, compared to 7.01% to 55.38% at surrounding schools.

Brookfield Elementary's data reveals significant achievement gaps between racial/ethnic groups, with White students outperforming Hispanic and Asian students. The school's performance for specific subgroups, such as English Language Learners and students with disabilities, also indicates areas of concern. The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, suggesting the need for a comprehensive review and implementation of targeted interventions to address these issues and improve educational outcomes for all students.

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.
