Summary

Brentwood Elementary School is a public elementary school in Miami Gardens, Florida, serving 393 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 22 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brentwood Elementary faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.2% to 35.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's test scores are also generally lower than the district and state, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math ranging from 30-52% and 48-64%, respectively, compared to 56-69% and 57-63% for the district and state. Additionally, Brentwood has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 79.64% to 93.42% over the past few years, indicating a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students.

When comparing Brentwood Elementary to nearby schools in the same district, similar patterns emerge, with high chronic absenteeism rates and varying test scores. Some nearby schools, such as Norwood Elementary and Crestview Elementary, perform better than Brentwood, while others, like Carol City Elementary and Barbara Hawkins Elementary, perform worse. The high concentration of economically disadvantaged students in the area suggests that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the school's performance, and addressing attendance issues and providing targeted support could be crucial in improving academic outcomes.
