Summary

Brookfield Elementary is a small Oakland school serving 133 students in kindergarten through Grade 5, within the Oakland Unified area. Its clearest strength is against nearby schools: its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were above the average of six nearby district elementary schools in English language arts, math, and science. The most important caveat is that all three rates remain well below district and California results.

Science is Brookfield’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools: 11% of students were proficient, versus a 6% nearby-school average, placing it second among the seven schools compared. Brookfield ranked fourth in both ELA (19%, compared with a 16% nearby average) and math (17%, versus 16%). Against district and state rates, however, Brookfield was behind in every subject: ELA was 19% versus 34% districtwide and 49% statewide; math was 17% versus 28% and 38%; and science was 11% versus 27% and 36%. Math had the smallest gaps to those broader benchmarks, while ELA was furthest below the state.

Results have risen overall since 2022–2023: ELA gained 7 percentage points, math 10, and science 3. The state gap narrowed by 5 points in ELA and 7 in math, but widened by 3 in science. Absenteeism also fell, from 84% in 2022–2023 to 44% in 2025–2026, though it remains above the district’s 30% and state’s 18%. SchoolDigger ranks Brookfield at the 6th percentile with 0 stars for 2025–2026. In 2024–2025, its student–teacher ratio was 24.1, among the highest nearby, and 68% of students were directly certified for free meals. One notable historical subgroup result: SchoolDigger’s English Language Learner effectiveness ranking fell from the 28th percentile in 2018–2019 to the 1st percentile in 2022–2023; the latest subgroup ranking supplied is from 2022–2023. Because tested-student counts are not supplied, results at this small school may be sensitive to the number of students tested.
