Summary

Brevard High, a public high school in Brevard, North Carolina, serves 807 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the Transylvania County Schools district. The school consistently performs above state and district averages on End-of-Course (EOC) exams, particularly in Math III and English II. Brevard High also excels in supporting certain student subgroups, such as African American students, English Language Learners, and Special Education students, ranking among the top schools in the state for these categories. The school's four-year graduation rate, ranging from 86.9% to 93.5%, consistently outperforms the state and district averages.

In comparison to nearby schools, Rosman High struggles academically, with lower proficiency rates and graduation rates than Brevard High. However, the smaller Davidson River School, also within the Transylvania County Schools district, has significantly lower proficiency rates compared to Brevard High and the district/state averages. The Henderson County schools, located further away, provide an interesting contrast, with the high-performing Henderson County Early College ranking among the top schools in the state, while the other Henderson County high schools perform at or below the state and district averages.

Brevard High's academic success may be attributed to its higher per-student spending of $11,996, which is above the state average, and its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.9 to 13.6 over the past few years. The nearby Davidson River School, with a smaller student population, has an even higher per-student spending of $16,825, indicating a potential focus on providing individualized attention and support for its students.
