Elementary Schools in Mountain Brook City

Summary:

The Mountain Brook City school district in Alabama is home to four exceptional elementary schools: Crestline Elementary School, Brookwood Forest Elementary School, Cherokee Bend Elementary School, and Mountain Brook Elementary School. These schools consistently rank among the top performers in the state, with exceptional test scores, low student-teacher ratios, and significant per-student spending.

Crestline Elementary School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and over 90% proficiency in many subject areas. Cherokee Bend Elementary School and Mountain Brook Elementary School also rank among the top 5-9 schools in the state, with strong test scores across the board.

While the schools have elevated chronic absenteeism rates compared to typical elementary schools, they serve a relatively affluent student population, as evidenced by the low percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The combination of high academic achievement, small class sizes, and significant per-student spending suggests that the Mountain Brook City school district is providing a world-class education to its students.
