Summary:
Brazil, Indiana, has one high school, Northview High School, serving grades 9-12. This public high school is part of the Clay Community Schools district, which is ranked 87th out of 380 districts in Indiana and holds a 4-star rating.
Northview High School has an enrollment of 894 students and a student-teacher ratio of 12.7, indicating relatively small class sizes. The school's graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year was a strong 88.4%. However, the chronic absenteeism rate stands at 17.8%, which is a notable concern. Academically, the school shows a mixed performance. While it performs slightly above the state average in SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing (56.4% proficiency), it falls slightly below the state average in SAT Mathematics (24.64% proficiency). A significant area for improvement is Biology proficiency, where Northview High School consistently scores below both district and state averages, with only 26.29% proficiency in 2024-2025.
The school serves a student population where 51.57% receive free or reduced lunch, suggesting a significant portion of students come from socioeconomically challenged backgrounds. Despite a substantial spending per student of $11,980, the school's academic performance in certain areas, particularly Biology, does not reflect this investment. Furthermore, Northview High School has experienced a considerable drop in its statewide ranking, falling from 110th out of 409 schools in 2021-2022 to 212th out of 398 in 2022-2023. This fluctuation, combined with the low Biology proficiency and high chronic absenteeism, suggests areas that require focused attention and strategic intervention to improve overall student outcomes.
