Summary

Brookwood Elementary School in Dalton, GA, serves 688 students in Pre-K through 5th grade as part of Dalton Public Schools, and it stands out as a consistently high-performing school in the region, ranking in the top quarter of Georgia elementary schools for nearly a decade.

For parents, the most encouraging news is Brookwood’s strength in math. In the latest testing cycle, 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders scored 15–20 percentage points above the district average—for example, 64.3% of 3rd graders were proficient in math compared to 42.3% districtwide. The school also earns top marks for supporting students with special needs, ranking in the 89th percentile statewide, which is a rare achievement. Another standout feature is attendance: Brookwood’s chronic absenteeism rate (8.5%) is dramatically lower than the district (12.5%) and state (17.7%) averages, suggesting a welcoming, engaging school climate. While 5th grade science scores (43.8%) dip slightly below the state average, this is a minor blemish on an otherwise strong record.

Brookwood also delivers these results efficiently. It spends about $14,652 per student—less than nearby schools like Park Creek Elementary ($16,988) or Roan Elementary ($19,348)—yet outperforms them all. Even compared to Dug Gap Elementary, a higher-poverty school that ranks just 25 spots behind, Brookwood’s results show that strong teaching and culture matter more than demographics. If you’re looking for a stable, efficient, and inclusive elementary school in the Dalton area, Brookwood is a clear leader worth considering.
