Summary

Brooker Elementary School is a public elementary school in Brandon, Florida, serving 759 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Hillsborough School District, which is ranked 49 out of 67 districts in the state.

Brooker Elementary consistently outperforms the Hillsborough district and the state of Florida in standardized test scores, with 5th-grade students scoring 53% proficient or better in Statewide Science, compared to 50% for Hillsborough and 55% for Florida. The school also has higher test scores than nearby schools like Symmes Elementary, Limona Elementary, and Yates Elementary. However, Brooker has a higher chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 26.8% to 31.4% over the past few years, which is an area of concern.

Interestingly, the nearby Winthrop Charter School consistently outperforms Brooker and other public schools in the area, both academically and non-academically. Additionally, schools with the highest free and reduced-price lunch rates, such as Yates Elementary (75%) and Kingswood Elementary (75.6%), tend to have lower test scores compared to Brooker and other higher-performing schools in the area.
