Summary:
The city of Nashville, Indiana, is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Brown County High School, Brown County Middle School, and Van Buren Elementary School. These schools operate under the Brown County School Corporation and serve a predominantly white student population, with a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Among the standout schools, Van Buren Elementary School consistently outperforms the district and state averages on academic assessments, with particularly strong performance in 5th-grade English Language Arts and Social Studies. In contrast, Brown County Middle School struggles with lower proficiency rates, especially in Math, while Brown County High School faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate, which may be impacting its academic outcomes.
The data also reveals disparities in resource allocation, with Van Buren Elementary School spending the least per student and Brown County High School spending the most. This variation in funding and student-teacher ratios may contribute to the differences in academic performance observed across the district. Addressing chronic absenteeism and examining equity in resource distribution could be key focus areas for improving educational outcomes for all students in the Nashville, Indiana, area.
