Summary

Brooklyn Park Elementary is a PK-5 school in the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, serving 463 students in a high-poverty area where over 83% of students qualify for free and reduced lunch.

Brooklyn Park Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with test scores that are dramatically lower than both district and state averages. In the most recent school year, only 12% of students were proficient in Mathematics and 19.4% in English Language Arts—roughly half the proficiency rates of nearby struggling schools like Belle Grove Elementary (16.1% Math, 27.8% ELA) and North Glen Elementary (9.9% Math, 23.7% ELA). The school has been on a clear downward trajectory in state rankings, dropping from the 27th percentile in 2021-2022 to the 9th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year. This decline is steeper than nearby schools like Park Elementary, which improved from the 21st to the 33rd percentile over the same period. A particularly troubling pattern emerges in grade-level performance: 3rd graders show 12.3% proficiency in Math and 20.5% in ELA, but by 5th grade, these numbers plummet to just 7.9% and 14.3%, respectively—a "cliff" effect that suggests students fall further behind as they progress through the school.

Chronic absenteeism remains a persistent issue, with a rate of 27.2% that has barely improved from 27.1% the previous year, despite a peak of 38.6% during the pandemic. This rate is significantly higher than the district average of 19.9% and comparable to other struggling schools in the area like Park Elementary (28.7%) and Belle Grove Elementary (29.1%). Notably, Brooklyn Park spends $20,867 per student—higher than the state average and nearly identical to the higher-performing Overlook Elementary ($20,872), which ranks in the 49th percentile. This high spending without corresponding academic success suggests that the school's challenges are deeply systemic and not simply a matter of resources. The school sits in a cluster of low-performing schools in this geographic area, all sharing similar demographics and struggles, while Overlook Elementary, just two miles away, demonstrates that higher performance is possible even in this district.
