Summary

Brookfield Elementary is a small public K-5 school serving 133 students in the Oakland Unified district, consistently ranking among the lowest-performing schools in California with proficiency rates below 10% in core subjects and an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 56.4%.

When compared to nearby schools, Brookfield stands out for having the lowest academic scores and the highest rate of students missing school, despite receiving the highest per-student funding in the area at over $32,500 per child. For example, Cox Academy, a charter school less than a mile away, spends about $20,000 less per student but achieves math proficiency rates over three times higher, while Lighthouse Community Charter serves a similar student population with significantly better academic outcomes.

This creates a concerning paradox where substantial resources are not translating into student success, and the school's performance has declined sharply over the past decade. The extreme level of chronic absenteeism, which is more than double the district average, appears to be a major factor hindering learning, and the school's small size has not led to the more personalized support needed to address these deep challenges.
