Summary

Brookhaven Elementary School in Morgantown, WV, serves 550 students from Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the highly-rated Monongalia County Schools district, which ranks 5th out of 54 districts in West Virginia. The school has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in the state, earning 4 or 5 stars every year for the past decade and placing in the 89th-93rd percentile statewide in recent years.

Brookhaven's academic performance is strong across all subjects, with students significantly outperforming both district and state averages. In math, 63.1% of students are proficient (compared to 52.9% district and 39.4% state), while English language arts proficiency stands at 65.6% (compared to 60.6% district and 47.6% state). The school shows a particularly impressive upward trajectory in reading and writing skills, with 5th-grade ELA proficiency reaching 72.2%—a 13.1 percentage point improvement from 3rd grade. Science scores have also improved notably, with 56.9% of 5th graders proficient, exceeding the state average by more than 22 percentage points. When compared to nearby schools, Brookhaven sits in the upper-middle tier: Cheat Lake Elementary and Ridgedale Elementary outperform it in math, but Brookhaven's ELA scores are competitive with or better than most peers, including Suncrest Elementary.

The school achieves these results efficiently, spending $12,643 per student—less than several nearby schools that post lower scores. For example, Mylan Park Elementary spends 14% more per student but achieves lower proficiency in both math and ELA. With a student-teacher ratio of 15.2:1, Brookhaven demonstrates that effective instruction doesn't require smaller class sizes. One area of concern is the school's declining performance among students from low socio-economic backgrounds, which has dropped significantly over the past two years and warrants attention. Overall, Brookhaven remains a solid, high-performing choice for families in the Morgantown area, particularly for its strong literacy development and science outcomes.
