Summary:
The Brown County School Corporation operates 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students in the Brown County area. The data reveals a mix of academic performance, with Helmsburg Elementary School standing out as the highest-performing school, while the middle and high schools face more challenges, particularly in mathematics.
Helmsburg Elementary School is the standout performer, ranking 126 out of 1,010 Indiana elementary schools and boasting the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math across all grades. In contrast, Brown County Middle School struggles with Math proficiency, with only 29.21% of students meeting or exceeding standards, and Brown County High School has relatively low proficiency rates in SAT/Math and ILEARN/Biology compared to state averages.
The data also reveals disparities in student demographics and socioeconomic factors, with the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch ranging from 42.86% at Van Buren Elementary School to 55.08% at Sprunica Elementary School. This suggests that the schools serve communities with different socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to the differences in academic performance and indicate a need for additional resources or support for schools with higher levels of economic disadvantage.
