11 public K-12 schools in Brownsburg from NCES Common Core of Data: enrollment, grade span, demographics, and Civil Rights Data Collection statistics for every active campus.
According to NCES CCD 2024-25, Brownsburg has more public-school enrollment than 80% of the 4,487 US cities in this directory. Brownsburg sits near the top of the national city distribution by public-school enrollment, while Brownsburg High School alone enrolls 33.8% of local students. The city total therefore does not describe a uniform market: one large campus materially shapes the aggregate, and the remaining schools operate at a different scale. Read the ranked table alongside each campus profile rather than treating the city mean as a typical school.
The school portfolio is elementary-weighted
7 of Brownsburg's 11 listed schools are elementary campuses. That composition means citywide enrollment and staffing averages are influenced more by early-grade operating patterns than by the city's 2 middle and 1 high-school records. Families comparing later grades should rely on those individual rows rather than the all-school mean.
One district, but meaningful resource variation
Brownsburg's schools share one district authority while their average Resource Investment Index ranks at the 75th percentile among listed cities. Shared governance removes one source of policy variation, but it does not erase campus differences by grade span or enrollment. The 10-point gap between White Lick Elementary School and Brownsburg High School measures the remaining local spread. Use the district-level picture for common budget context, then compare the school components to see whether staffing, counseling, gifted-program reporting, or attendance accounts for each campus's position.

Brownsburg High School accounts for 33.8% of all Brownsburg public-school enrollment
That dominant concentration means Brownsburg-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade level: High. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how districts allocate programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Brownsburg school enrollment varies 13× across entities
Brownsburg school enrollment ranges from 257 students (lowest) to 3,355 students (highest), a spread of 3,098 students. That spread reflects typical urban portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing and program breadth can differ sharply at opposite ends of that enrollment range, so the city average should not be treated as a typical campus.
Brownsburg operates one school district — a single-district system
Brownsburg's listed schools share one district boundary, budget authority, and reporting chain. That makes citywide and districtwide governance easier to compare, but it does not make individual campuses uniform: grade configuration, staffing, programs, and student need can still vary materially within the same school district.
Brownsburg student-teacher ratio is 17.4:1 — near the typical range (US average ~15.7) — citywide staffing is neither unusually lean nor unusually crowded by this measure
student-teacher ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE classroom teachers against total enrollment, push-in specialists, English-language aides, special-education co-teachers, and counselors are not included in most reporting Variation between sub-units within Brownsburg is typically wider than the Brownsburg-aggregate figure suggests.
Most racially and ethnically mixed schools in Brownsburg
Ranked by the Simpson student-body diversity index (0-100) from NCES race and ethnicity data, where higher means a more evenly mixed student body. It measures mix, not quality.

Data from NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 and Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) 2021-22. The Resource Investment Index uses reported student-teacher ratio,
counselor access, gifted programs, and attendance; it is not an academic rating. Cities must include at least five schools to be listed. This public-data comparison is for informational purposes:
verify current enrollment, attendance boundaries, and programs with the school district before acting. See the guide to understanding NCES data.
