Brookland School District

The Brookland School District in Arkansas consists of 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district's performance varies, with some schools consistently outperforming the state and district averages, while others struggle to meet academic standards.

Brookland Elementary School and Brookland Middle School stand out as the top-performing schools in the district, consistently scoring above the state and district averages on standardized tests. In the 2024-2025 school year, Brookland Elementary ranked 33rd out of 495 Arkansas elementary schools and received a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, while Brookland Middle School had 43.3% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 50% proficient or better in Mathematics.

In contrast, Brookland High School has seen a significant decline in its performance, dropping from a 4-star rating in 2022-2023 to a 1-star rating in 2024-2025. This raises concerns about the factors contributing to the school's struggles and the need for targeted interventions to improve student achievement. The district also has relatively high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 27.78% at Brookland High School to 40.27% at Brookland Primary School, which may indicate the need for additional resources and support services to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
