Academic Excellence, Good Character, and Partnership with Parents
Since launching in 2013 with 200 students, the Brilla Schools Network now serves more than 1,600 children across five campuses. More than 90 percent of students qualify for the federal meals program; one in five has special needs; and one in three is an English Language Learner. Here’s a brief summary of our results, but dig into the data with our downloads below:
- Brilla was the third highest performing school out of all New York state elementary schools serving a similar composition of children!
- 70 percent of Brilla parents report that their children repeatedly demonstrate behavior in line with our four core virtues.
- Zero Brilla scholars have been expelled since founding.
- Parent-teacher conferences (held three times per year) have had a 100 percent attendance rate since Brilla’s founding.

"Brilla is a part of my life. Brilla is my second family."
