Summary

William Brooks Elementary is a K–5 school in El Dorado Hills, California, with 372 students. Its results are strong compared with the state, but its clearest local concern is math: it trails every nearby K–5 school in all-grades math proficiency, even while scoring well above California’s rate.

Compared with California, the school is ahead in all three tested subjects: 72% of students are proficient in ELA, 67% in math and 57% in science, leading state rates by 23, 28 and 21 percentage points, respectively. Nearby comparisons are more mixed. It ranks fourth of nine schools in ELA, ninth in math and fifth in science; nearby K–5 averages are 75% in ELA, 73% in math and 57% in science. In math, the nearby range is 66.96%–78.97%. Compared with the Buckeye Union Elementary District, the school is ahead by 2 points in ELA and 3 in math, but behind by 5 in science.

Math and science proficiency have fallen since 2022–2023, by 5 and 7 percentage points, while ELA has risen by 3 points overall, including a 5-point increase in the latest year. SchoolDigger ranks the school 696th of 5,804 California schools, at the 88th percentile with 4 stars; its percentile has stayed near that level in recent years. Its 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 26.5, the third-highest among ten nearby schools with reported ratios. In 2024–2025, 13% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, close to the nearby average of about 12%; this measures eligibility, not who can receive a free meal. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for White students was at the 61st percentile, notably below the school’s overall 88th. For Low Socio Economic Status Students, its ranking rose from the 77th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 96th in 2023–2024, remaining at the 96th percentile in 2025–2026.
