Summary

Naomi L. Brooks Elementary is a PK–5 school in Alexandria, Virginia, serving 319 students and ranking as one of the smaller elementary schools in the Alexandria City Public Schools district.

Despite its district ranking in the 21st percentile statewide, Brooks stands out with a 69th percentile ranking (340th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools) and a 3-star rating. The school has improved steadily over four years, climbing from the 39th to the 69th percentile. On SOL assessments, Brooks outperformed district and state averages in nearly every subject and grade, including a remarkable 92.9% proficiency in 5th-grade reading — nearly 30 points ahead of the district and 20 points ahead of the state. Among nearby peers, only Lyles-Crouch Elementary ranks higher; Brooks outpaces Douglas MacArthur Elementary, which has a similar poverty rate, in nearly every tested area.

Brooks shows notable strengths across student groups, with statewide subgroup rankings in the 98th percentile for White students and 66th percentile for African American students. However, the school's lowest subgroup ranking is for economically disadvantaged students (39th percentile), and chronic absenteeism has risen to 14.9% — above the district average and most nearby schools. Still, the school achieves these results while spending about $14,500 per student, less than several lower-performing nearby schools. With consistent academic gains over three consecutive years, Brooks is one of the more compelling success stories in the Alexandria area, though absenteeism and the economic achievement gap remain challenges worth monitoring.
