Summary

Brookville Elementary School is a small, close-knit school in Graysville, AL, serving 211 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Jefferson County school district. The school recently experienced a sharp drop in its overall state ranking, falling to the 10th percentile with a 1-star rating in the 2025-2026 school year, a significant decline from its previous 2-star rating and 33rd percentile position just a few years earlier.

The most concerning trend for parents is the dramatic collapse in mathematics proficiency. In the 2022-2023 school year, 3rd grade math scores were strong at 46.88%, but by 2025-2026, that number plummeted to just 9.68%. Similar declines are visible in 4th and 5th grade math. This is far worse than nearby Gardendale Elementary School, which maintained math proficiency rates of 42-48% across all grades during the same period. English performance tells a different story—3rd grade reading actually beats the district average at 56.25%—but this strength fades by 4th and 5th grade. There is also a notable gender gap, with female students ranking in the 19th percentile statewide compared to just the 6th percentile for male students.

On a positive note, the school has made real progress on attendance, reducing chronic absenteeism from 22.9% to 14.7%, which is now better than several neighboring schools like West Jefferson Elementary School and UW Clemon Elementary School. African American students at Brookville are also performing relatively well, ranking in the 52nd percentile statewide. However, with 73% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges. The student-teacher ratio has also risen from 15.7 to 19.7 over two years, which may be impacting the quality of instruction. While the school spends more per student ($10,432) than higher-performing schools like Mount Olive Elementary School ($9,915), the sudden nature of the recent decline suggests something changed in the last school year that warrants immediate attention from school leadership.

What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, February 4, 2014

I have had so many problems with the curricula with the lack of enthusiasm that some of the teachers have for teaching, helping the children who actually ask for more information and they seem bothered that they may have to help. It has caused my child who loved reading in one year to now have no interest in because the teacher is not engaging, the lack of information given to them for science, social studies etc. The math program is excellent but they need a complete education. It also depends on the who's who the hierarchy of the students and their families where you are on that depends on how you are treated. Major changed need to be done before this school is a school to be proud of for all not just the one's who's children get special treatment they will tell all who are willing to buy it how outstanding the school is but just take a look at the ratings here and listen to all opinions to see the majority of thoughts and census Close Quote
