Summary:
The Brookeland Independent School District (ISD) in Texas consists of two schools: Brookeland Elementary and Brookeland High School. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.
Brookeland High School stands out as the top performer in the district, consistently ranking higher among Texas high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts an impressive 90.6% four-year graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, and it outperforms the state and district averages in several STAAR test subjects, including reading, mathematics, science, and social studies. Brookeland Elementary, on the other hand, generally performs below the state average in STAAR reading, mathematics, and science tests, with some exceptions in 4th and 5th-grade reading.
While Brookeland Elementary has a higher free and reduced lunch rate at 56.85% compared to Brookeland High School's 50.57%, the high school spends slightly more per student at $13,816 compared to the elementary school's $13,274 per student. The student-teacher ratio is also lower at the high school, with 9.0 students per teacher compared to 10.2 students per teacher at the elementary school. These factors may contribute to the high school's stronger academic performance and suggest that the district may need to focus on improving the academic outcomes at the elementary level.
