Summary

Brevard High is a comprehensive public high school in Brevard, NC, serving 799 students in grades 9–12 as part of Transylvania County Schools. It consistently beats state averages in every tested End-of-Course subject, with math as its standout area: about 71% of students scored proficient in Math I and 90% in Math III in 2025–2026—roughly 29 and 21 points above state averages. That puts Brevard ahead of nearby traditional high schools including Rosman High, East Henderson High, Hendersonville High, and West Henderson High in Math I; only Henderson County Early College, a selective early-college program, scores higher.

Attendance and graduation numbers are also strong. Chronic absenteeism is about 10.7%, far below the district average of 20% and the state average of 24.2%. Nearly 94% of students graduate, compared to 88% districtwide and 87.7% statewide. These results are particularly notable given the school's high reported economic need—about 99% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school also earns standout statewide rankings for specific student groups: gifted students rank 3rd in North Carolina, English learners rank 13th, and special education students sit in the 84th percentile.

Brevard's strengths are not spread evenly across subjects. Its English II proficiency rate of 68.7% is above the state average of 64.6% but trails nearby Hendersonville High (80.7%), West Henderson High (76.7%), and Rosman High (75.4%). Within the same district, Rosman High posts stronger biology and English II results, while Brevard excels most clearly in Math I. The school's statewide ranking sits in the 73rd percentile (181st of 662), a modest dip from its 2017–2018 peak. For parents, the big picture is a high-poverty school that pairs exceptional math results with low absenteeism, a strong graduation rate, and impressive outcomes for gifted students, English learners, and students with disabilities—making it one of the stronger traditional high school options in the region.
