Summary:
Brownsburg Community School Corp is one of Indiana's strongest districts, serving 10,246 students across 11 schools — eight elementary, two middle, and one high school — and ranking 4th of 374 districts statewide. Enrollment is unevenly spread: the high school alone accounts for 3,355 students, the two middle schools 2,489 combined, and the eight elementaries 4,402 combined. Ten of the 11 schools hold 5-star ratings in 2025-26, and every school ranks in at least the 86th percentile statewide.
Brownsburg High School is the flagship, ranking 8th of 415 high schools with a 99.2% graduation rate — well above the state's 89.7% — and SAT scores far ahead of state averages (Evidence-based Reading and Writing 75.78 vs. 51.9; Math 43.44 vs. 25.6). Brownsburg West Middle School ranks 4th of 486 middle schools and outperforms Brownsburg East Middle School in ELA (69.22 vs. 64.14) and math (70.19 vs. 64.75), though East has lower chronic absenteeism (6.0% vs. 8.7%). Among elementaries, Brown Elementary School leads in ELA (79.92) and math (79.17) with the lowest student-teacher ratio (14.8); Delaware Trail Elementary School leads in science (70.83); Crossroads Elementary School ranks 33rd of 1,015 while spending the least ($5,835 per student); and Reagan Elementary School has the district's lowest chronic absenteeism (4.4%).
Cardinal Elementary School is the outlier: the only 4-star school, ranked 143rd of 1,015, with the highest free/reduced lunch rate (43.54%) and the lowest elementary ELA (69.68), math (65.31), and science (49.15) — though most of its results still exceed state averages. Absenteeism is low district-wide, with the high school highest at 12.4% but still below the state's 16.7%. Spending does not cleanly predict outcomes, as Crossroads' low spending accompanies a top-35 ranking while the high school's $17,579 far exceeds every other school.
