Summary

Brown County Middle School is a public middle school in Nashville, Indiana, serving 386 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Brown County School Corporation, which is ranked 163 out of 380 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Brown County Middle School has some areas of concern, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates (ranging from 17.8% to 21.7%) and lower test scores in ILEARN/English Language Arts, Math, and Science compared to state and district averages, the school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.05% to 53.56% over the past few years. This is higher than the rates of nearby schools like Central Middle School (46.47%) and Bell Intermediate Academy (48.43%), suggesting the school may be facing challenges in providing equitable educational opportunities for its students.

Additionally, Brown County Middle School's spending per student, ranging from $12,521 to $13,391 over the past few years, is higher than the state average but lower than some of the nearby schools, such as Lora L Batchelor Middle School ($14,388) and Tri-North Middle School ($14,672). The school's statewide ranking has also been declining over the years, from 87th out of 472 Indiana middle schools in 2016-2017 to 307th out of 480 in 2024-2025, suggesting the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
