Summary

Brookview Elementary School is a public elementary school located in West Des Moines, Iowa, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 642 students. The school is part of the Waukee Community School District, which is ranked 65 out of 313 districts in Iowa and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brookview Elementary consistently performs above the state and district averages in ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Brookview's 3rd-grade students scored 79.3% proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district's 81.3% and the state's 67.9%. The school has maintained a strong statewide ranking, placing in the top 10% of Iowa elementary schools in recent years, and ranking 40th out of 574 elementary schools in the state in the 2021-2022 school year, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

However, Brookview Elementary has experienced a gradual increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 8.5% in 2020-2021 to 21.6% in 2023-2024, which is an area of concern that the school may need to address. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Brookview Elementary has increased from 16.44% in 2021-2022 to 23.05% in 2023-2024, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students. Compared to nearby schools, Sugar Creek Elementary and Shuler Elementary, Brookview generally outperforms them in academic achievement and statewide rankings, but Maple Grove Elementary, which is closer in proximity, has lower test scores and a lower statewide ranking compared to Brookview.
