Summary

Brusly High School is a public high school in Brusly, LA, serving 734 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the high-performing West Baton Rouge Parish school district, which ranks in the top quarter of Louisiana districts.

Brusly High School stands out as a reliable, high-performing option in a region with widely varying school quality. It has consistently earned a 4-star state rating for the last five years, a stability that is rare compared to nearby schools. For example, while Istrouma High School and Capitol High School struggle with graduation rates around 60%, Brusly boasts a 91.5% graduation rate and a very low 1.0% dropout rate. The school also excels in core academics, with proficiency rates in Geometry (80%), English II (77%), and Biology (72%) that are well above state averages. A particularly strong point is the school's success with students from low socio-economic status backgrounds, ranking in the 80th percentile statewide for serving this group—a clear outperformance compared to Port Allen High School in the same district.

While Brusly is a strong choice for many families, there are a few areas to note. The school has made impressive progress in reducing chronic absenteeism from a pandemic high of 46.7% down to 15.3%, which is now below the state average. However, there is a significant performance gap between female and male students, with females ranking in the 86th percentile and males in the 64th. Additionally, while the school is a standout for its African American students (89th percentile), it faces a challenge in better serving its Hispanic student population (41st percentile). Overall, Brusly High School offers a stable, high-quality education that avoids the extremes of the local landscape, making it a compelling choice for families seeking a strong comprehensive public school.
