Summary

Brookwood High School in Brookwood, AL, is a public high school serving 1,076 students in grades 9-12 within the Tuscaloosa County School District. The school has shown a strong commitment to student success, with a graduation rate of 93.3% that consistently exceeds both district and state averages.

Brookwood is currently on an upward trajectory. After a dip in performance a couple of years ago, the school has made significant academic gains. In the most recent testing cycle, proficiency rates improved across all core subjects, with math jumping from 15.7% to 19.7%, science from 28.1% to 30.9%, and English from 24% to 26.4%. This positive momentum is a good sign for families considering the school. When compared to nearby Hillcrest High School, Brookwood is a close competitor—Hillcrest has a slight edge in math and science scores, but Brookwood has a lower chronic absenteeism rate and a marginally higher graduation rate. However, compared to top-performing Northridge High School in the Tuscaloosa City district, Brookwood has room to grow, as Northridge's proficiency rates are nearly double.

The school's biggest challenge is chronic absenteeism. At 17.3%, it's significantly higher than the state average of 12%, though it has been steadily improving from a high of 26.2% a few years ago. This is an area where the school is making progress, and addressing it could unlock even greater academic gains. Brookwood also shows varying success across different student groups, performing particularly well for some while needing more targeted support for others. Overall, Brookwood is a school in positive transformation—it has a solid foundation with its high graduation rate, is showing real academic improvement, and with continued focus on attendance, it has strong potential to keep climbing.
