Summary:
Elmbrook School District serves the Brookfield area of Wisconsin and includes 10 schools: 5 elementary, 2 middle, and 3 high schools (one of which is a small grades 5–12 program), with roughly 7,845 students. The district ranks #9 of 432 in Wisconsin, at the 98th percentile with a 5-star rating. Every one of the 9 ranked schools holds a current 5-star rating and sits at the 95th percentile or higher in the state — an unusually consistent level of excellence.
Elementary schools are the strongest tier. All five rank in the top 48 of 1,039, led by Brookfield Elementary (15th, 99th percentile) and Tonawanda Elementary (24th), followed by Burleigh Elementary, Swanson Elementary, and Dixon Elementary. At the middle level, Pilgrim Park Middle (14th of 643) outranks Wisconsin Hills Middle (32nd) and outperforms it in 7 of 8 current tests. The two comprehensive high schools have different profiles: Brookfield East High (12th of 533) is stronger in math and science, while Brookfield Central High (16th) excels in ELA and social studies. Dixon, Burleigh, Pilgrim Park, and both high schools have also climbed in the rankings over recent years.
Chronic absenteeism averages about 2.6% in regular schools versus 17.3% statewide, with Brookfield Elementary lowest at 0.9%. Free/reduced lunch ranges from 4.37% to 13.11% among regular schools. Per-pupil spending runs from $13,778 to $16,369, averaging about $14,756, and student-teacher ratios from 14.2 to 17.8 — notably, the top performer is not the highest-spending school. Graduation rates are 97.8% at Brookfield East and 97.0% at Brookfield Central, against 92.0% statewide. Fairview South should be considered separately: with only 9 students, a 1.0 student-teacher ratio, and no test-score records, its academic performance is unknown, not weak.
