Original Research by School Decision on Brookwood Elementary
Brookwood Elementary is a regular public school in Genoa City, Wisconsin, serving children from pre-kindergarten through third grade. It is one school within the Genoa City J2 School District. Because the school stops at grade three, there is no graduation rate and no data for older grades. State testing is limited to the grade three students who take the Forward assessment, and that testing provides the only academic performance snapshot available.
In math, roughly two in five third graders scored at or above the proficient level. In English language arts, the share was about the same. Compared to other districts in Walworth County, the overall proficiency across the tested subjects falls on the lower end. A parent looking at these results should consider that the data covers only one grade and one small cohort, so it offers a narrow view. The school’s participation rate on the assessments was high, meaning nearly all eligible students were tested.
Enrollment is modest. The student body is predominantly white, with a noticeable Hispanic presence and very small numbers of Asian, Black, and multiracial students. About a third of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which is a substantial share and signals a moderate level of economic diversity. Data on students with disabilities and English learners was not available; a parent may want to ask the school directly about those supports and services.
Genoa City is a small, mainly residential village. It has a historic core along Freeman Street and a handful of local businesses, industrial parks, a public library, ball fields, and parks. The village saw population growth in the early 2000s but has since stabilized. Housing values in the area are near the statewide median, and the local housing market has seen modest recent increases. The cost of a typical home, when measured against national incomes, is moderately above the long-term average, though monthly mortgage costs are in line with current interest rates. The village is largely car-dependent, with limited street life and a small civic footprint. Schools are integrated into the community rather than isolated on large campuses.
The district itself reported no significant recent changes that would affect a family’s decision. No major boundary shifts, program launches, or financial developments were found in publicly available sources.
Because Brookwood Elementary only serves the earliest grades, families will need to plan for a transition to other schools in the district for fourth grade and beyond. The school’s academic results are below the county median, but the data is thin. The absence of information on special education and English learner programming leaves a gap that a prospective parent should investigate. The peer environment is largely homogeneous, with a mix of economic backgrounds. The setting is a quiet, stable village with housing costs that reflect the broader state market. This school fits a family seeking a small, neighborhood-oriented primary school in a low-key community, with the understanding that academic performance at this level is one element among several to weigh.
