Brockman Elementary is a public elementary school in Columbia, South Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 266 students. This school stands out as an exceptional institution within the Richland 01 school district, consistently outperforming the district and the state of South Carolina in academic assessments.

Brockman Elementary has been ranked among the top elementary schools in South Carolina, reaching as high as 3rd out of 619 schools in the 2015-2016 school year. In the most recent year (2024-2025), the school ranked 73rd out of 640 elementary schools statewide, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is particularly impressive, with 90.7% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to 53.9% for Richland 01 and 61.8% for the state.

Despite having 100% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Brockman Elementary has been able to achieve exceptional academic results, suggesting that the school is effectively addressing the challenges associated with high poverty levels. The school's success can serve as a model for other schools in the Richland 01 district and the state of South Carolina. While Brockman Elementary outperforms the nearby Rosewood Elementary, Brennen Elementary, and Burton Pack Elementary, it is interesting to note that some schools in the neighboring Richland 02 district, such as Forest Lake Elementary, also demonstrate strong academic performance.
