Brent Elementary consistently underperforms the Bibb County and Alabama state averages on test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 25.66% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in math, compared to 31.15% for Bibb County and 45.47% statewide. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.8% to 27.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Brent Elementary has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.74% to 70.88%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, the nearby Woodstock Elementary and Randolph Elementary schools, which are also part of the Bibb County School District, generally outperform Brent Elementary on test scores and other metrics. These schools have higher rankings and better outcomes, despite serving similar student populations. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and effectively utilizing resources at Brent Elementary could be important steps in improving outcomes for the students.
