Summary

Brisbane Elementary serves 207 students in grades K–5 in Brisbane, California, among several nearby elementary schools. In 2025–2026, 65% of students met proficiency standards in both English language arts (ELA) and math. These results stand out locally: Brisbane scored higher than every nearby school with reported results in either subject, whose scores ranged from 14% to 39% in ELA and from 14% to 32% in math.

ELA and math are Brisbane’s strongest areas compared with the state and district, while science is its clearest relative weakness. Brisbane’s ELA proficiency was 15 points above the state and 1 point above the Brisbane Elementary district; in math, it was 26 points above the state and 2 points above the district. Science proficiency was 30%—6 points below the state and 9 below the district. It was nevertheless higher than six of the eight nearby schools with reported science results; only Sunshine Gardens Elementary and Bayshore scored higher. Within Brisbane, fifth grade is a point to watch: math proficiency was 50%, compared with 76% in fourth grade.

Over time, ELA has edged up and math has slipped, but the sharpest change is in science: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose 3 points, math fell 4, and science fell 23. Science also dropped 27 points in the latest year alone. SchoolDigger places Brisbane at the 79th statewide percentile with 4 stars, ahead of nearby schools, which range from the 4th to 40th percentile and have 0–2 stars; Brisbane’s percentile is down 10 points from its 2023–2024 peak. Contextual measures include a 17.2 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, below the nearby average of 21.3, and 17% free/reduced lunch eligible that year, compared with a nearby average of 70%. SchoolDigger’s 2021–2022 subgroup ranking also showed a notable difference: Brisbane’s ranking for Asian Students was at the 32nd percentile, versus the school’s overall 85th percentile, a measure of how well it served that group relative to the same group at other schools statewide.
