Summary
Brookville High is a comprehensive public high school in Lynchburg, Virginia, serving 1,017 students in grades 9–12 as part of Campbell County Public Schools. The school’s statewide ranking has slipped from the 94th percentile in 2021–2022 to the 36th percentile in 2025–2026, placing it in the middle of Virginia high schools after several years of strong performance. Despite this academic slide, the school posts impressive non-academic numbers: a 96.2% graduation rate, a dropout rate of just 1.7%, and chronic absenteeism of only 9.5% — all better than state averages.
Academically, Brookville shows a clear subject split. Math is a standout strength: Geometry proficiency reached 92.6% and Algebra I proficiency hit 76.5% in 2025–2026, on par with or above state averages. Social studies, however, is a major weakness — just 7.4% of 11th graders scored proficient in VA/US History compared to a 35.2% statewide average. English reading also trails in 12th grade, with 50% proficiency versus 70.2% statewide. Achievement has dropped for several groups of students in recent years, suggesting the school’s overall decline has not been felt equally across the student body.
Compared with nearby schools, Brookville’s results are mixed. Its graduation and attendance numbers far exceed those of E.C. Glass High and Heritage High in Lynchburg City, where chronic absenteeism tops 30%. But within its own district, Rustburg High and Altavista High both rank higher, and the more affluent Jefferson Forest High outpaces Brookville on most academic measures. Notably, Brookville spends just $6,659 per student — less than Jefferson Forest’s $8,054 and Amherst County High’s $10,243 — yet still maintains a favorable 12:1 student-teacher ratio. With strong attendance and graduation outcomes but sliding academics, Brookville’s path forward will likely depend on how it deploys its resources and targets instruction, not just how much it spends.
