East Baton Rouge Parish Public Schools is a public school district headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States. The district serves most of East Baton Rouge Parish; it contains approximately 90 individual schools: 56 elementary schools, 16 middle schools, and 18 high schools. The portion of East Baton Rouge Parish in the City of Baker is instead served by the City of Baker School System. Similarly, Zachary residents attend schools operated by the Zachary Community School Board, while Central residents attend schools in the Central Community School System.

Policies and programs

The district requires all students to wear school uniforms, except those attending Baton Rouge Magnet High School and Lee Magnet High School.[1]

The district also partners with The Cinderella Project of Baton Rouge, a charity that provides free prom dresses to public high school students who cannot otherwise afford them.
