Summary

Brooks Global Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Greensboro, North Carolina, serving 311 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Guilford County Schools district, which is ranked 142 out of 242 school districts in the state.

Brooks Global Elementary has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in North Carolina, maintaining a 4 or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, and Science were significantly higher than the Guilford County Schools and North Carolina state averages across all grade levels. The school has also shown exceptional performance for its African American and White student subgroups, ranking among the top 10-20% of North Carolina elementary schools in these categories.

However, the school's performance for Gifted and Talented students and Low Socioeconomic Status students has been relatively weaker, ranking in the bottom 50% of North Carolina elementary schools in these subgroups. This suggests that the school may need to examine its instructional practices and support systems to ensure that all student populations are receiving the necessary attention and resources to achieve their full potential. Despite this, Brooks Global Elementary remains a high-performing school within the Guilford County Schools district, with a track record of academic excellence and a commitment to serving a diverse student population.

Monday, August 3, 2009

The third grade year is horrible at this school. The teachers are poor but the principal won't accept any constructive criticism of his program. if you have problems (as most of my friends did) then it must be your child's fault he thinks. Especially if you have a child with mild special needs (ADD, ADHD, Aspergers) do not send your children here. This school will make their behaviors worse rather than better. Your kids will not be treated as individuals and no one will be willing to listen if you have suggestions. Close Quote
