Summary

Brookshire Elementary is a mid-sized public school in Winter Park, FL, serving 608 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Orange district, and it stands out as a reliable, high-value option in a neighborhood where school performance varies widely.

Brookshire has a strong and consistent academic track record, earning a 4-star rating in 7 of the last 10 years and currently ranking in the top 30% of Florida elementary schools. A key differentiator is its exceptional math performance in early grades: 80% of 3rd graders were proficient in math, which is higher than nearby top-tier schools like Lakemont Elementary (73%) and Baldwin Park Elementary (79%). However, the school experiences a "5th grade math slump," with only 59% of 5th graders proficient—below both the district and state averages—suggesting a potential curriculum gap in upper elementary math. The school also boasts low chronic absenteeism (22.6%) compared to its immediate neighbors like Aloma Elementary (37.3%) and Forsyth Woods Elementary (38.3%), indicating a stronger culture of attendance and family engagement.

Brookshire serves as a "stabilizing" force in a region of performance fluctuation, with its state ranking percentile remaining between the 60th and 80th percentile for a decade, while nearby schools like Aloma have declined. It achieves strong results with moderate funding ($14,302 per student), spending less than lower-performing schools like Forsyth Woods ($14,863) but more than elite schools like Dommerich Elementary ($11,155), suggesting efficient resource allocation. This makes Brookshire a crucial "bridge" school, successfully educating a diverse population while delivering solid academic outcomes.
