Brentwood Elementary School

Summary:

Brentwood Elementary School is a public elementary school in Spokane, Washington, serving 503 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Mead School District, which is ranked 42 out of 247 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Brentwood stands out for its higher percentage of White students (79.72%) compared to nearby schools, as well as its generally stronger academic performance. The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Math are above the Mead School District and Washington state averages, particularly in the upper elementary grades. However, Brentwood's ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from a 4-star to a 2-star rating in 2023-2024. This suggests the school may be facing challenges in maintaining its academic excellence. Additionally, while Brentwood's Hispanic and White students perform well, its special education and low-income students struggle, ranking in the bottom 30% of Washington elementary schools.

When compared to other local schools, Brentwood's academic performance is generally stronger than the Mead School District average, but some Spokane School District schools, such as Balboa Elementary, have comparable or even higher test scores and rankings. Brentwood's funding and resource allocation may be an area worth investigating to understand how it has impacted the school's academic performance and student outcomes over time.

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.
