Summary

Brookland Middle is a public middle school in Richmond, Virginia, serving 1,029 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Henrico County Public Schools district, which is ranked 89 out of 129 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brookland Middle consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Virginia middle schools, with a statewide ranking between 388-413 out of 409-424 schools over the past 10 years. Its performance is significantly below the Henrico County and Virginia state averages across various subject areas and grade levels. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 13.6% to 21.7% over the past few years, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Brookland Middle has an extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 79.01% to 93.49% over the past few years, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families.

While Brookland Middle is located in the Henrico County Public Schools district, it is surrounded by several higher-performing middle schools, such as Quioccasin Middle, Tuckahoe Middle, and George H. Moody Middle, which have significantly better academic outcomes and lower rates of socioeconomic disadvantage. Addressing the challenges faced by Brookland Middle, such as low academic achievement, high poverty, and chronic absenteeism, will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach involving targeted interventions, resource allocation, and community partnerships.

Love Brookland Middle School. The teachers are dedicated and the administrators are committed to keeping students safe. This is not considered the best school in the county due to high poverty and transient families, but I know my child would not get a better education at any other school. Sometimes you need to see things with your own eyes. Close Quote
