Brookfield High School

Summary:

Brookfield High School is a public high school serving 260 students in grades 9-12 in Brookfield, Ohio, which is part of the Brookfield Local School District. The school has a predominantly white student population and has maintained high graduation rates, but faces challenges in areas like chronic absenteeism and academic performance in certain subjects.

Brookfield High School's student population is 88.46% white, which is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby Choffin Career Center, which has a more diverse student body. The school has consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 92.0% to 94.7% over the past five years, but has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.8% in 2019-2020 to 57.9% in 2021-2022. Academically, Brookfield High School students generally perform better than the state average on Ohio State Tests, particularly in subjects like American Government and American History, but struggle in subjects like Geometry and Algebra I.

Brookfield High School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with multi-racial students performing well but white students struggling. The school's free and reduced-price lunch rate of 37.31% in 2022-2023 suggests a significant portion of the student population comes from low-income households, which may contribute to the school's challenges. Compared to the nearby Choffin Career Center, Brookfield High School has a higher student-teacher ratio but serves a larger student population. Overall, Brookfield High School has several strengths, but also faces challenges that the school and district will need to address to improve student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
