Summary

Brusly Upper Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 4-5 in Brusly, Louisiana, part of the West Baton Rouge Parish school district. With 352 students, the school consistently outperforms the district and state averages on LEAP tests for Mathematics and English Language Arts, with 81% of students proficient or better in ELA compared to 77% for the district and 70% for the state.

Brusly Upper Elementary's performance is particularly noteworthy for certain student subgroups, ranking 143rd out of 501 Louisiana elementary schools for African American students and 97th out of 207 for Hispanic students in ELA proficiency. However, the school faces a challenge with increasing chronic absenteeism, reaching 24.6% in 2023-2024, though still lower than the nearby school average.

Compared to other schools in the West Baton Rouge Parish district, Brusly Upper Elementary generally outperforms its peers on academic measures.
