Summary

Brentwood Elementary School is a public elementary school in Fort Wayne, Indiana, serving 398 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Fort Wayne Community Schools district, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brentwood Elementary School faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, lower academic performance compared to the district and state averages, and a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's per-student spending is also relatively high, likely due to the needs of its economically disadvantaged student body.

When comparing Brentwood Elementary School to nearby schools in the Fort Wayne Community Schools district, some interesting patterns emerge. Bunche Elementary School, a public magnet school, has consistently higher test scores and a lower percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients compared to Brentwood. Meanwhile, Northcrest Elementary School and Saint Joseph Central School have similar performance to Brentwood, with lower test scores and higher rates of economic disadvantage. The success of Fred H. Croninger Elementary School, another public magnet school, highlights the potential benefits of specialized educational programs and targeted resource allocation.
