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.
