Summary

Pittsburgh Brookline K-8 is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Pittsburgh School District, with 409 students. While the school has a relatively low ranking within the state, currently ranked 1015 out of 1511 Pennsylvania elementary schools and rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, it faces significant challenges in improving student academic performance.

Pittsburgh Brookline K-8 has consistently underperformed compared to the Pittsburgh School District and the state of Pennsylvania in both math and English language arts proficiency across all grade levels. The school has also seen a concerning increase in dropout rates, rising from 0.0% in 2022-2023 to 1.6% in 2022-2023 and 1.4% in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 97.94% to 99.51% over the past few years, indicating a high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Pittsburgh School District, such as Pittsburgh West Liberty K-5 and Pittsburgh Carmalt K-8, Pittsburgh Brookline K-8 generally performs better in both math and English language arts proficiency. However, it still lags behind the state averages. Neighboring school districts, such as Mt. Lebanon and Keystone Oaks, have significantly higher-performing elementary schools, highlighting the potential for improvement but also underscoring the systemic challenges faced by the Pittsburgh School District as a whole.
