School Overview

Brookdale Elementary sits in the southern reaches of Tacoma, in a working-class neighborhood where families tend to put down roots and stay. The school performs around the middle of the pack statewide, making it a solid community anchor for families in the Franklin Pierce district who value consistency and a familiar school environment. Tacoma itself has a lot going for it — waterfront access, a growing arts scene, and a lower cost of living than Seattle — and for families settling into this part of Pierce County, Brookdale offers a neighborhood school experience in a city that's still finding its stride.
