Summary

Brookwood Elementary School is a K–6 school with 607 students at 1325 Stahlheber Rd in Hamilton, Ohio (Butler County), part of the Hamilton City school district. In 2025-26 it ranked 812th of 1,560 Ohio elementaries (48th percentile, 2 stars), about the middle of the state and roughly 22 percentile points above its own district.

Compared with other elementaries in the same district, Brookwood Elementary School is the second-highest-ranked in this group, behind only Ridgeway Elementary School. It leads Fairwood Elementary School and Riverview Elementary School by 23 percentile points, has the group’s lowest student-teacher ratio (16.4:1), and reports the highest per-pupil spending ($10,704, from 2018-19). Its chronic absenteeism rate is 16.4%—tied with Ridgeway Elementary School for lowest, less than half the district’s 31.1%, and well below Highland Elementary School, Crawford Woods Elementary School, and Fairwood Elementary School. It also outperforms nearby non-district options like New Miami Elementary School, Richard Allen Academy, and Fairfield Preparatory Academy; Edgewood Early Childhood Center serves only PK–1 and has no comparable test data.

Academically, Brookwood Elementary School averages 61.4% proficient versus 53.4% for its district and 62.1% for Ohio. Its early grades are a clear strength: Math 3 (74.7%) and Math 4 (79.5%) are the highest in the comparison set, and ELA 3 (65.9%) and ELA 4 (67.5%) are near the top. But grades 5–6 fade sharply. Science 5 is 36.6% proficient—the only measure below the district—and ELA 6 (50.5%) trails Ridgeway Elementary School by nearly 17 points. The pattern has persisted for four years: grades 3–4 have beaten the state by 5–8 points, while grades 5–6 have trailed it in three of four years. Fifth-grade science fell from 53.0% to 36.6% in one year. Attendance is the best improvement story: chronic absenteeism dropped from 35.9% (2021-22) to 16.4% (2025-26), about double the district’s improvement. The main concerns are the upper-elementary fade and three-year declines among low-income students (76th to 67th percentile) and special-education students (64th to 46th). Some data are dated or based on small groups, so trends should be rechecked next year.
