Naomi L. Brooks Elementary

Summary:

Naomi L. Brooks Elementary is a public elementary school in Alexandria, Virginia, serving 335 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Alexandria City Public Schools district, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Naomi L. Brooks Elementary stands out from its neighboring schools, such as Cora Kelly School for Math Science and Technology and Charles Barrett Elementary, due to its higher percentage of White students (55.52%) and stronger academic performance. The school consistently outperforms the district and state in standardized test scores, particularly in Mathematics, with 80% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in SOL/Mathematics, compared to 56.1% for the district and 70.11% for the state. Additionally, Naomi L. Brooks Elementary has a higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio than the surrounding schools, which may contribute to its academic success.

However, the school still faces challenges in addressing racial achievement gaps within its student population. While Naomi L. Brooks Elementary outperforms the district and state averages, there are notable gaps between White students and their African American and Hispanic peers. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 78% of 3rd-grade White students were proficient or better in SOL/English Reading, compared to 51.92% of African American students and 51.02% of Hispanic students. This suggests that the school's strong academic performance may not be evenly distributed across all student groups.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
