Summary:
The Brooks County school district in Georgia is home to three elementary schools: Quitman Elementary School, North Brooks Elementary School, and Brooks County Early Learning Center. These schools serve students from prekindergarten through 5th grade in the Brooks County district.
Among the three schools, North Brooks Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing, with a statewide ranking of 755 out of 1,238 Georgia elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year. It is the only school in the district rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. North Brooks Elementary also outperforms the district and state averages on several key metrics, including higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts for 4th and 5th grades, as well as in Mathematics and Science for 5th grade.
However, the data reveals significant performance gaps across the district, with all three schools struggling to meet state averages, particularly in English Language Arts. Additionally, the schools have seen a concerning trend of declining performance over the past few years, with both Quitman Elementary and North Brooks Elementary dropping in their statewide rankings. The extremely high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 93.08% to 100%, indicate that the student population in Brooks County is facing significant economic challenges, which can have a substantial impact on educational outcomes. These findings suggest the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to address the underlying issues and improve educational outcomes for students in the Brooks County school system.
