Summary:
The city of Brusly, Louisiana, is served by five public schools within the West Baton Rouge Parish school district, which is ranked in the 78th percentile statewide and holds a 4-star rating. The schools are uniquely segmented by grade: Brusly Elementary School (PK-1), Lukeville Elementary School (2-3), Brusly Upper Elementary School (4-5), Brusly Middle School (6-8), and Brusly High School (9-12).
The standout school is Brusly Upper Elementary School, which made a remarkable leap from the 62nd to the 86th percentile in state rankings in just one year, now earning a 4-star rating. It leads the city in math (83% proficient) and social studies (85% proficient) and has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at just 4.7%. Brusly High School is the top secondary school, consistently maintaining a 4-star rating with a strong 91.5% graduation rate and a very low 1.0% dropout rate, excelling in Geometry (80%) and English II (77%). Brusly Middle School leads in English Language Arts (80% proficient) but shows a notable 23-point drop in math proficiency between 7th and 8th grade. Lukeville Elementary School has the smallest student-teacher ratio at 9.4:1 and strong 3rd-grade math scores (79%), though its 3rd-grade ELA scores (69%) are below the state average.
Despite a majority of students (58% to 67%) qualifying for free/reduced lunch across all schools, Brusly schools consistently outperform state averages in nearly every academic metric. Brusly High School presents a paradox: excellent outcomes but the highest chronic absenteeism rate in the city at 15.3%. Brusly Elementary School (PK-1) has no test score data, creating a gap in assessing early academic foundations. Overall, the district’s structured pipeline and effective instruction make Brusly a strong choice for families seeking high-performing schools.
