Summary:
The 35444 zip code area is home to two schools - Brookwood High School and Brookwood Elementary School, both part of the Tuscaloosa County school district. While the schools have seen inconsistent performance in recent years, they face challenges common to many schools serving communities with significant socioeconomic needs.
Brookwood High School has a relatively large enrollment of 1,094 students and a graduation rate of 90%, which is higher than the state average. However, the school has experienced fluctuations in its statewide ranking and rating, ranging from 1 to 3 stars, and its test scores in mathematics, science, and English are consistently below the county and state averages. Brookwood Elementary School, with an enrollment of 597 students, has also seen inconsistent rankings and ratings, and its test scores are more mixed, with some grades and subjects exceeding the county and state, while others fall behind.
Both schools serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch - 70.52% at Brookwood Elementary and 57.86% at Brookwood High. This suggests that the schools may need to focus on targeted interventions and support programs to address the unique needs of their student populations and drive academic improvement.
