Summary

Brookhaven Elementary School is a grades 3–4 campus in Brookhaven, MS, serving 368 students in the Brookhaven School District. The school operates alongside Mamie Martin Elementary (PK–2) as part of a two-campus elementary structure, making it the district's only 3rd and 4th grade campus. Brookhaven has shown clear momentum in recent years: its state ranking jumped from 245th (37th percentile, 2 stars) in 2023-24 to 136th out of 377 schools (64th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025-26. This improvement is especially notable given that about 81% of students qualify for free/reduced-price lunch.

Mathematics is a clear strength at Brookhaven. In 2025-26, 56.5% of 3rd graders and 61.7% of 4th graders scored proficient in math, well above state averages of 48.8% and 51.5%. Fourth-grade math is particularly strong, more than doubling the proficiency rates at Monticello Elementary (25.5%) and Hazlehurst Elementary (27.3%). Brookhaven outperforms both of those schools in every tested subject and also leads North Pike Elementary School in three of four subjects. Reading results are more uneven: 4th grade ELA (55.7%) exceeds the state average (52.4%), but 3rd grade ELA (43.8%) trails it (48.5%). The pattern flipped from the prior year, suggesting cohort-to-cohort variability in reading.

Chronic absenteeism affects about 22.7% of Brookhaven students, slightly below the state average (23.9%) but higher than at Mamie Martin Elementary (15.7%). The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.6 is better than Hazlehurst Elementary (17.5) and North Pike Elementary School (15.5), and comparable to Mamie Martin Elementary (13.8). Since Brookhaven is the only school in the Brookhaven School District serving grades 3–4, its test scores directly shape the district's overall standing. With strong math outcomes, rising state rankings, and a favorable student-teacher ratio, Brookhaven is an improving school — though 3rd-grade reading and attendance remain the key areas to watch.
