Summary

Brush Creek Elementary School is a K–6 school in North Vernon, Indiana, serving 303 students as part of the Jennings County School Corporation. It serves a relatively high-poverty population — 69.31% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025 — and its per-student spending of $11,557 is the lowest among its same-district peers, while its student-teacher ratio of 16.3 is the highest among all nearby schools listed. Even so, the school's own results outpace its district profile: the district ranks 172nd of 374 Indiana districts (54th percentile, 3 stars), while Brush Creek Elementary School ranked 295th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026 (71st percentile, 4 stars).

Math and science are the school's clearest strengths. In 2025–2026 all-grade ILEARN results, 59.59% of students were proficient in math and 56.76% in science, compared with 42.27% and 37.36% across the district. That science figure is the highest among all nearby listed schools. ELA proficiency was 39.73%, above the district's 34.24% but behind South Ripley Elementary School (57.95%) and Graham Creek Elementary School (57.64%). Grade-level ELA results are mixed: 4th grade (44.44%) and 6th grade (47.37%) scored above district and state, while 3rd grade (36.84%) and 5th grade (29.41%) fell below both. The 4th grade was exceptionally strong across subjects, including math (72.22%) and science (63.89%).

Chronic absenteeism in 2024–2025 was 14.0%, better than the district's 18.6% and the state's 16.7%, though South Ripley Elementary School (4.6%) and several other nearby schools were lower, and North Vernon Elementary School was slightly higher at 15.0%. The school's five-year trajectory is clearly upward: its state rank percentile climbed from 35 in 2021–2022 to 71 in 2025–2026, and its star rating rose from 2 to 4.
