Brooke Intermediate School South has consistently performed above the state average in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) assessments for grades 3 and 4 over the past few years. In 2024-2025, the school's 3rd-grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 62.7%, compared to the state average of 53%, and its 4th-grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 52.5%, compared to the state average of 50.3%.

The school has also shown strong performance across different student subgroups, particularly in Special Education and Male students.

While Brooke Intermediate School South's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than its neighboring schools within the Brooke County Schools district, it appears to be slightly lower than the high-performing schools in the neighboring Ohio County Schools district, such as Middle Creek Elementary School and Madison Elementary School, particularly in Mathematics and ELA proficiency rates. The school's performance in ELA, especially for 3rd-grade students, and for Low Socio-Economic Status (SES) students, could be areas for further improvement.
