Summary

Brusly Middle School in Brusly, LA, serves 539 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the high-performing West Baton Rouge Parish school district, which ranks in the top 25% of Louisiana districts. This school has built a strong reputation for academic excellence, earning a 4-star rating for four consecutive years and climbing from the 48th percentile in 2017-2018 to the 81st percentile in the most recent school year. With 67% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, Brusly Middle School demonstrates that a diverse student body can achieve outstanding results.

What truly sets Brusly Middle School apart from nearby schools is its exceptional performance across all subjects. In the 2025-2026 school year, proficiency rates reached 77% in Math, 80% in ELA, and 78% in Social Studies—far exceeding the state averages and dramatically outperforming its district counterpart, Port Allen Middle School, which scored 54%, 68%, and 48% respectively. The school's Social Studies proficiency is particularly impressive, surpassing even the highly-ranked McKinley Middle Magnet School (71%) in East Baton Rouge Parish. Additionally, Brusly Middle School boasts a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 8.9%, compared to the state average of 22.5% and the staggering 70.5% rate at Capitol Middle School.

Another standout feature is the school's consistent success across all student subgroups, earning 4 stars for every group reported, including students with special needs and those from low socio-economic backgrounds. This "rising tide lifts all boats" approach is a hallmark of an effective school and contrasts sharply with many nearby schools that show wider achievement gaps. While the school excels overall, the data reveals a targeted area for growth: 8th-grade Math proficiency (60%) is significantly lower than 6th-grade (84%) and 7th-grade (83%) Math, suggesting that the transition to advanced math concepts is a challenge the school is likely addressing. This remarkable turnaround story—from a 2-star to a 4-star school—makes Brusly Middle School a beacon of equity and academic achievement in the region.
