Better than 23% of Texas elementary schools

Summary

Brookhaven Elementary in Killeen, TX, serves 503 students in grades PK-5 within the Killeen Independent School District (Isd), a high-poverty community where nearly 79% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Despite a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.8:1 and per-student spending slightly above the district average, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Texas elementary schools over the past decade, earning a 1-star rating for four consecutive years. Its overall state ranking (23rd percentile) is notably lower than nearby Meadows Elementary (51st percentile) and Priority Charter Schools - Killeen (59th percentile), though it shares similar challenges with Killeen Elementary and Hay Branch Elementary.

The most critical weakness is in 5th-grade math and science, where proficiency rates have been alarmingly low—only 25% of 5th graders were proficient in math in the most recent year, compared to the state average of 47.4%, and science proficiency has hovered at just 11-15% for three consecutive years. This suggests a systemic issue in preparing students for upper elementary curriculum. In contrast, the school has a remarkable strength: its English Language Learner (ELL) program ranks in the 81st percentile statewide, earning a 4-star rating—a standout achievement that far exceeds the school's overall performance. However, this success does not extend to all groups; for instance, White students at Brookhaven rank in the 6th percentile, a dramatic underperformance that highlights uneven instructional effectiveness.

Performance also varies significantly by grade and year, with test scores showing a "yo-yo" pattern—such as 4th-grade reading swinging from 37% to 30% to 44% over three years—likely due to high student mobility in this military-connected community. Compared to its closest neighbor, Peebles Elementary, which serves a similar population, Brookhaven lags in 3rd-grade reading (30.7% vs. 48.5%) but outperforms in 4th-grade reading (44.2% vs. 33.3%). For parents, the key takeaway is that Brookhaven offers exceptional support for ELL students but faces persistent challenges in upper-grade math and science, with inconsistent results across grades and student groups.

Wednesday, November 9, 2011

I could not believe the rudeness of this teacher. we are new to the area and today was my daughter's first day of school (after being registered, which went smoothly and were treated respectfully). While dropping my daughter off i asked a teacher for direction since we were obviously new comers and were not sure of where to go. I advised her that we were new and she did not welcome us nor did it seem like she even cared. Her attitude and tone were extremely disrespectful and disgusting. Its disturbing to know that this individual is working with children, if this is how she would treat me a new comer and adult i would hate to know how she treats the children. She was absolutely no help at all and did not even bother to try she in her own words just said "just go to the office" and yes again with an attitude. As if we have not been offended enough, my 4 year old daughter tried to talk to her since shes a friendly child and loves to talk, the teacher just walked away and ignored her. I then directed my daughter to the office since she was apparently not going to be helpful. Like i said previously it is seriously terrible that they let people like this be teachers, i only hope that she treats the children well when no ones looking...... Close Quote
