Summary

Brookland High School is a public high school in the small town of Brookland, Arkansas, serving 645 students in grades 10-12 as part of the highly-rated Brookland School District, which has earned a 5-star rating and ranks in the 90th percentile statewide.

Brookland High School presents a mixed picture for parents. On the positive side, the school boasts a consistently high graduation rate, never falling below 92.7% in recent years, which is well above the state average. It also has a low rate of economic disadvantage, with only about 25% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch. However, the school has experienced extreme volatility in its state rankings, swinging from the 84th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 15th percentile in 2024-2025, before rebounding to the 76th percentile in 2025-2026. This instability is not seen in nearby schools like Valley View High School, which consistently ranks in the 90th+ percentile and outperforms Brookland in nearly every subject, including English (51% vs. 45.1%) and Biology (58% vs. 48%).

A key concern is a persistent weakness in mathematics. In the most recent testing year, Brookland's Geometry proficiency was just 15.5%, far below the state average of 26.4%, and in the prior year it was an alarming 1.5%. This math crisis is more severe than at any nearby school, though even Valley View struggled with Geometry (8.6% that same year). Meanwhile, Brookland's English Language Arts (45.1%) and Biology (48%) proficiency rates are above state averages. The school's student-teacher ratio of 17.1 is the highest among its peers, including Valley View (13.5) and Westside High School (11.4), which may contribute to the academic volatility, especially in math where individualized attention is crucial.
