Summary:
The city of Brevard, North Carolina is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. These schools are part of the Transylvania County Schools district, which overall performs reasonably well compared to state averages.
Two schools stand out as top performers in the district: Brevard High School and Brevard Middle School. These schools consistently exceed district and state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 59.2% to 82.5% across different subject areas. They also have relatively low student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their strong academic performance. In contrast, Davidson River School, an alternative high school, appears to be the weakest performer, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages.
The schools in Brevard serve a diverse student population, with varying socioeconomic backgrounds as indicated by the wide range of free/reduced-price lunch rates, from 45.54% at Brevard High School to 69.86% at Davidson River School. This diversity highlights the need for the district to address the performance gaps between the top-performing and lower-performing schools, ensuring that all students receive the support and resources they need to succeed.
