Summary

Brookeland Elementary is a small, rural PK-5 school in the Brookeland Independent School District (Isd), serving 198 students with a very favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.3:1. This school has shown remarkable consistency, recently earning a solid 3-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year, and it stands out for its strong academic performance compared to nearby schools like West Sabine Elementary and Parnell Elementary. For example, in 3rd-grade reading, Brookeland's proficiency rate of 60.71% significantly outpaced West Sabine's 41.3% and Parnell's 37.5%, highlighting a clear "reading-first" strength that benefits all students.

One of the most impressive features of Brookeland Elementary is its exceptional support for special education students, ranking in the 99th percentile statewide for this subgroup in 2023-2024 and the 88th percentile in 2024-2025. This indicates a highly effective and targeted support system that is not evident in surrounding schools. Additionally, 5th-grade science has been a hidden strength, with 50% of students proficient in 2024-2025, far exceeding the state average of 29.57%. However, the school faces a notable challenge in upper-grade math, with 4th-grade math proficiency dropping to 28.57% and 5th-grade to 30.77% in 2025-2026, creating a "math cliff" that requires urgent intervention.

When compared to Hemphill Elementary, a higher-ranked school with a similar percentage of economically disadvantaged students, Brookeland outperforms in some areas like 3rd-grade reading but lags in math—Hemphill's 4th-grade math proficiency was 66.67% versus Brookeland's 28.57%. This comparison provides a clear roadmap: if Hemphill can achieve strong math results with a similar student demographic, Brookeland can too. The school's future success hinges on solving the math cliff and reversing a recent decline in performance for economically disadvantaged students, who make up nearly 58% of the student body. With its strong foundation in reading and special education, Brookeland has the proven capacity to excel across all subjects.
