Summary

Naomi L. Brooks Elementary is a public elementary school in Alexandria, Virginia, serving 345 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Alexandria City Public Schools district, which is ranked 107 out of 129 districts in the state.

Naomi L. Brooks Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state in standardized test scores, particularly in the white student subgroup, which ranks in the top 18% of Virginia elementary schools. However, the school's performance for low socioeconomic status students is relatively weaker, ranking in the bottom 55% of Virginia elementary schools. The school has also experienced a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 11.2% in 2023-2024 to 19.3% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the district's average of 16.5%.

Compared to nearby schools, Naomi L. Brooks Elementary generally outperforms Cora Kelly School for Math Science and Technology and Charles Barrett Elementary in academic performance, but lags behind the higher-performing Lyles-Crouch Elementary, which is ranked in the top 28% of Virginia elementary schools and has significantly lower chronic absenteeism rates. The school's increasing per-student spending and fluctuating student-teacher ratio may indicate a focus on improving resources and support for students, which could contribute to the school's overall academic performance.
