Summary

Brooks Elementary is a public school in Windsor, CA, serving about 493 students in grades 3 through 5 as part of the Windsor Unified School District.

Recent data shows the school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in English and Math well below state averages and a notable drop in its statewide ranking to the 25th percentile. Chronic absenteeism, though improving, remains higher than at many neighboring schools. The school shows particular strengths in supporting its Special Education students and in science instruction, where its scores are closer to the state average. It's important to note that per-student spending has increased substantially in recent years without a corresponding rise in academic performance.

When compared to nearby schools in other districts, the performance gap is striking. For instance, West Side Elementary and San Miguel Elementary achieve significantly higher proficiency rates. Within its own district, Brooks performs below the Windsor Unified averages, and its scores are also lower than those at the district's Cali Calmecac Language Academy, which serves similar grade levels.
