Summary

Brentwood Elementary School in Miami Gardens, FL, is a public PK-5 school serving 330 students in a high-needs area, where 71.8% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and it has shown a promising upward trend in academic performance after a decade of inconsistency.

One of the most notable strengths at Brentwood is its consistent excellence in 5th Grade Math, where the school has outperformed both the Miami-Dade district and state averages for four consecutive years—reaching 71% proficiency in 2025-2026 compared to the district's 67% and state's 62%. This "Brentwood Math Effect" is a unique asset not seen in nearby schools like Carol City Elementary School or Crestview Elementary School. However, the school faces a significant challenge with English Language Arts (ELA), where scores in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades all fall below district averages, with 4th-grade ELA at just 45%—19 points behind the district. Additionally, chronic absenteeism is a critical issue, with a rate of 35.9% in 2023-2024, far higher than many neighbors like Norwood Elementary School (25.3%) and Barbara Hawkins Elementary School (25.6%).

On a positive note, Brentwood offers a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15:1, which is better than Miami Gardens Elementary School (18.8:1) and Carol City (22:1), allowing for more individualized attention. The school also spends a relatively high $17,381 per student, more than several nearby schools, yet this funding hasn't yet translated into broad academic gains. The recent jump from the 28th to the 42nd percentile statewide suggests a positive trajectory, but tackling chronic absenteeism and improving ELA instruction will be key to building on this momentum and replicating the success seen in math.
