Summary:
Bricolage Academy is the sole elementary school located in the Bricolage Academy district in Louisiana, serving grades PK-7 with a total enrollment of 887 students. The school is a public charter institution, ranked 77 out of 118 districts in the state and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
Bricolage Academy's academic performance is mixed, with some grade levels and subjects exceeding the state average on LEAP tests, while others, particularly 8th grade Mathematics, fall significantly behind. The school's 4th grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 61% in 2024-2025, higher than the state average of 65%, but the 8th grade Mathematics proficiency rate was only 23%, much lower than the state average of 47%. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6% in the 2023-2024 school year, which could be contributing to its inconsistent academic outcomes.
Despite these academic challenges, Bricolage Academy has some positive factors, including a relatively low dropout rate of 3.3% and a student-teacher ratio of 13.8 in the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, the school serves a high proportion of students from low-income families, with 63.13% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating the need for additional support and resources to help students overcome socioeconomic barriers to learning.
