Brookstead State School serves the rural community and township of Brookstead. Brookstead is situated on the Gore Highway, 60km west of Toowoomba and lies midway between Pittsworth and Millmerran. The community is made up largely of farming families engaged in wheat, sorghum, barley and cotton farming.
Due to drought and difficult economic conditions the school has gradually declined in numbers over the past years.
Being a small school, composite classes exist. Currently, the class break-ups are Preparatory to Year 2 and Year 3 to Year 6.
Brookstead School has a caring, friendly atmosphere where parents are welcome to assist in classrooms and encouraged to initiate and participate in various projects. The school has developed close ties with the surrounding community and both work together for the benefit of the students.
