Summary

Brookland Elementary School in Brookland, AR, serves 728 students in grades 1 through 3 and is part of the highly-rated Brookland School District, which ranks in the 90th percentile statewide.

Brookland Elementary stands out for its exceptional academic performance, with proficiency rates in math (69.8%), English (63%), and science (63%) that are dramatically higher than nearby schools. For example, students here are nearly 3.5 times more likely to be proficient in math compared to those at the nearby Math & Science Magnet School (18% proficient). The school has also shown a remarkable turnaround, jumping from the 65th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 93rd percentile (5 stars) in 2024-2025, and maintaining that elite status. This success is part of a cohesive district-wide strategy, as the nearby Brookland Primary School (PK-K) also benefits from the district's strong foundation, with a low student-teacher ratio of 13.2:1.

Interestingly, Brookland Elementary achieves these top-tier results while spending less per student ($10,618) than nearly all of its lower-performing neighbors, such as Nettleton Steam Intermediate ($14,705 per student). The school also has a significantly lower percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch (38.19%) compared to nearby schools in the Jonesboro School District and Nettleton School District, where rates often exceed 65% and sometimes reach 100%. This efficiency and sustained excellence make Brookland Elementary a standout choice for families in the area.
