Summary

Brookwood Elementary is a PK–5 school in Virginia Beach, VA, serving 574 students as part of Virginia Beach City Public Schools. The school's most recent state ranking places it at the 39th percentile of Virginia elementary schools—up slightly from last year but down significantly from its 74th-percentile ranking in 2018–2019. Brookwood trails the district in most tested subjects; only 4th-grade math stands out as a clear strength, with 82.7% proficiency versus the district's 77.1%, while 5th-grade performance is a persistent weak spot across math, reading, science, and VA Studies.

When compared with nearby schools, Brookwood sits in the lower-middle range, ranking below Windsor Woods Elementary, King's Grant Elementary, and Rosemont Elementary, but above Holland Elementary and Parkway Elementary. That gap is noteworthy because some of those higher-performing schools serve similar or even higher percentages of students from low-income families—a sign that Brookwood's results are not simply a reflection of its student population.

The school's biggest strength is attendance: chronic absenteeism has dropped from 21.4% in 2021–2022 to just 7.7% in 2024–2025, well below the district and state averages. However, Brookwood spends the least per student ($15,204) among nearby schools and has one of the highest student-teacher ratios in the cluster. Subgroup data shows military-connected and multiracial students rank well below the state median, while students from low-income households rank closer to the middle. Given that nearby schools with similar demographics are achieving stronger outcomes, Brookwood has clear opportunities to improve, particularly through targeted support in 5th grade and for specific student groups.
