Brookview Elementary School, East Point GA

Original Research by School Decision on Brookview Elementary School

Brookview Elementary serves PreK through fifth grade in East Point, a mixed-use city southwest of Atlanta anchored by downtown and large industrial corridors. The school draws from a neighborhood of historic bungalows, cottages, and ranches near the East Point MARTA station, where downtown holds shops, restaurants, parks, and City Hall.

The school's student body is predominantly Black and economically disadvantaged. All enrolled students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The enrollment is small to mid-sized for an elementary school, distributed across seven grades.

Academic performance at Brookview is below the county median on recent state assessments. In English language arts, students across grades three through five show proficiency rates in the low to mid teens, with fourth grade performing somewhat higher. In math, proficiency varies significantly by grade: third grade is quite low, fourth grade reaches the low forties, and fifth grade drops back to the mid teens. Science proficiency at fifth grade is in the mid twenties. When averaged across all tested subjects and grades, Brookview's overall proficiency sits below the midpoint relative to other districts in Fulton County. A parent may want to look into further with the school what instructional changes or supports are in place to address these results.

It is worth noting that Fulton County Schools launched a major, lasting literacy initiative called "Every Child Reads," funded by federal pandemic relief and involving training for teachers and a literacy coach at every elementary school. This district-wide shift to unified Science of Reading instruction is in effect across all K-5 classrooms, including Brookview, and has been credited with measurable gains on state assessments, with the district now leading Georgia in Literacy Leader-recognized schools. That context may inform how the school's current performance sits within a broader improvement effort.

East Point itself is mid-sized and growing. It blends walkable historic neighborhoods with revitalization, including The Commons, a major mixed-use downtown project now under construction that will bring retail, healthcare, and apartments. Housing values are declining year-over-year but remain substantial for the region. More than half of occupied housing units are renter households. The city has transit access via the East Point MARTA station and a network of parks, including the Dick Lane Velodrome and wooded trail systems.

The school sits within Fulton County Schools, a large urban district currently managing enrollment declines in elementary schools. In February 2025 the Board voted to close and consolidate Parklane Elementary and Spalding Drive Charter Elementary, with redistricting taking effect in 2025-26. Brookview was not part of that consolidation, but the broader context is one of enrollment pressure and possible future redistricting. A parent may want to confirm Brookview's current attendance zone boundaries and whether any further changes are anticipated.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
