About Brentfield EL

Brentfield Elementary serves 812 students in prekindergarten through sixth grade as a regular public school in Dallas, Texas. The school earns a composite score of 9.3 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — with a near-perfect academic score of 9.9 and a growth score of 9.3, two metrics that together signal consistent performance rather than a single outlier category pulling the number up. The statewide rankings put that performance in sharp relief.

Brentfield sits 97th out of 8,547 public schools in Texas, outperforming 99% of schools statewide. Within Dallas, it holds the 11th spot out of 374 schools. Across all Texas elementary schools, it ranks 71st out of 4,678.

These positions hold across both academic achievement and year-over-year student growth — not a school coasting on a strong incoming cohort, but one producing measurable gains at every grade level. Enrollment stands at 812 students with a student-teacher ratio of 14.8 to 1. That ratio gives teachers a manageable load across a full PK–6 grade span.

For Dallas families comparing elementary options, the combination of top-tier academic scores, strong growth metrics, and a reasonable class size makes Brentfield one of the most competitive public elementary schools in the region.
