The East Baton Rouge Parish School System hit a 10-year high in enrollment of middle to upper-income students, according to a report released by the Baton Rouge Area Chamber. EBRPSS and public charters serving district students enrolled 10,722 middle and upper-income students in October 2022, which marked a 34 percent increase from 2,722 students in October 2012. “We haven’t been shy in our aggressive approach to public education in East Baton Rouge Parish,” says EBRPSS Superintendent Dr. Sito Narcisse. “Growing the number of high-quality programs available to local families, whether through our Focus Choice Schools initiative, Pathways to Bright Futures program, or through the expansion of popular magnet programs at schools like BR FLAIM is what
we’re focused on, and parents are clearly supportive of these initiatives.”
