Summary

Brownsburg High School is a large public high school serving grades 9–12 in Brownsburg, Indiana, near Indianapolis, with 3,355 students. It ranks 8th of 415 Indiana high schools in 2025–26 (98th percentile, 5 stars), and its district, Brownsburg Community School Corp, ranks 4th of 374 Indiana districts. The school’s graduation rate is 99.2%, compared with 89.7% statewide, and its chronic absenteeism rate is 12.4%, below the state’s 16.7% but above the district’s 8.3% and above Avon High School and Speedway Senior High School. About 32.79% of students receive free or reduced lunch.

Compared with nearby comprehensive high schools, Brownsburg leads in overall rank, graduation, SAT reading/writing (75.78%), and Biology (76.11%). Avon High School is the closest academic peer, but Brownsburg is about 10.5 points higher in SAT reading/writing and 13.7 points higher in Biology; SAT math is nearly tied (43.44% vs. 41.75%). Pike High School and Ben Davis High School trail much further behind, especially in Biology, where Brownsburg’s 76.11% contrasts with 31.37% at Pike and 7.69% at Ben Davis High. Speedway Senior High School is smaller but has a 99.1% graduation rate and lower absenteeism. Alternative and virtual schools in the area serve different populations and are not direct peers.

Most student subgroups rank in the top 5% statewide, including low-income students, English language learners, and students in special education, whose ranking improved from the 72nd to the 96th percentile. Per-student spending was $17,579 in 2023–24, the highest in this comparison group, but it jumped sharply from $10,835 in 2022–23, so that figure may not reflect a stable ongoing level. The student-teacher ratio is 19.4, slightly higher than at Avon High School (18.4), Speedway Senior High School (16.4), and Pike High School (15.0). The main watch items are chronic absenteeism relative to its own district and some nearby schools, plus the unusually large one-year spending increase.

Open Quote Great administration and teachers. The kids who have abilities to stretch have wonderful options and the kids who want or need an alternative education have options. No kid is ignored and there is concern for helping the students achieve their personal best. Close Quote
