While Brookland Middle School has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 30.75%, compared to 25.63% at Brookland Junior High School, the school's strong academic performance suggests it is providing a quality education to its students. However, the district should continue to monitor and address any equity or resource allocation concerns to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education. Additionally, the significant difference in student-teacher ratios between the two schools (18.5 at Brookland Middle School vs. 13.3 at Brookland Junior High School) may impact the learning environment and student experiences, and warrants further investigation.
