Summary

Brusly Upper Elementary School serves 334 students in grades 4 and 5 within the highly rated West Baton Rouge Parish school district, a district that ranks in the top 25% of Louisiana and has earned a 4-star rating.

This school is a standout academic leader, particularly in Social Studies, where its 85% proficiency rate is a remarkable 30 percentage points higher than the state average. In the 2025-2026 school year, Brusly Upper Elementary jumped to the 86th percentile statewide, earning its own 4-star rating. The school has also achieved a dramatic reduction in chronic absenteeism, which plummeted from 14.2% to just 4.7%—far below the state average of 22.5% and every nearby comparison school. This success is especially impressive given that 62.87% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school excels at serving all students, with African American students ranking in the 92nd percentile and low socioeconomic status students in the 86th percentile. Special Education students saw a remarkable turnaround, jumping from the 30th to the 79th percentile. The school benefits from a strong foundation, as its primary feeder, Lukeville Elementary School (78th percentile), sends well-prepared 3rd graders who achieve 79% proficiency in Math and 69% in ELA.

When compared to nearby schools in East Baton Rouge Parish, the contrast is stark. While Brusly and its district peers thrive, schools like McKinley Elementary (13th percentile), The Dufrocq School (22nd percentile), and Highland Elementary (32nd percentile) struggle with chronic absenteeism above 24% and proficiency rates 20-40 points lower. The only nearby schools that outperform Brusly are selective magnet programs like B. R. Foreign Language Acad. Immersion Magnet (97th percentile) and Baton Rouge Center for Visual and Performing Arts (91st percentile), which serve different demographic profiles. One area for focus is 4th Grade English Language Arts, where proficiency is 72%—at the state average—suggesting an opportunity for targeted support to ensure all students achieve at the highest levels.
