Summary:

The Brentwood Union school district consists of 12 public schools—nine elementary (K-5) and three middle (6-8) schools—serving nearly 10,000 students in a district that consistently outperforms California state averages in English, math, and science.

Academic performance varies across schools, with J. Douglas Adams Middle standing out as the district's top performer, particularly in English and math, while William B. Bristow Middle shows a concerning multi-year decline. Among elementary schools, Isaac R. Montanez Elementary and Loma Vista Elementary are strong performers, though a notable drop in fifth-grade math scores is common across most elementary campuses.

Chronic absenteeism is lower than the state average at all schools, with the best-attended schools like Montanez and Ron Nunn Elementary often correlating with stronger academic results. Parents should note the significant performance differences between the three middle schools and the overall strength of the district, which ranks in the top quartile statewide.
