Summary:
This analysis examines nine elementary schools (grades K-5) within the Brentwood Union School District in California, revealing a district that consistently outperforms state averages in academics and student attendance.
When comparing schools, Loma Vista Elementary stands out as the top performer with the highest statewide ranking and strongest English scores, while the newest school, Isaac R. Montanez Elementary, excels in mathematics and science. Mary Casey Black Elementary faces notable challenges, showing a recent decline in its statewide ranking and the lowest English proficiency in the district. A key finding across several schools is a significant drop in math scores in 5th grade compared to earlier grades, which is a pattern the district may want to investigate.
Overall, parents can expect solid academic quality across the district, with all schools beating state averages in English, math, and science. The district also shines in promoting regular attendance, with chronic absenteeism rates far better than the California average. There is significant economic diversity among the schools, but this does not directly predict performance, as schools with both higher and lower rates of students receiving free lunch demonstrate areas of strength.
