About Schools in New Orleans, Louisiana

New Orleans runs one of the most distinctive public school systems in the country. Following Hurricane Katrina, the city rebuilt almost entirely around charter schools, and today parents choose from 75 ranked public schools rather than being assigned by address. That open-enrollment structure means school selection requires more legwork — but also more opportunity to find the right fit.

Performance across those 75 schools averages 6.5 out of 10, and the range is wide. Thirty-two schools, or 43% of the total, score 7 or higher, giving families a solid pool of strong options to evaluate. At the top, ReNEW Laurel Elementary leads the city with a 9.7 out of 10 — one of the highest elementary scores in Louisiana. Homer Plessy Community School (9.3) and ReNEW Dolores T. Aaron Elementary (9.0) follow closely, making the ReNEW network a consistent presence among the city's highest performers. Lake Forest Elementary Charter School (8.9) rounds out a strong elementary tier. For high school, Frederick A. Douglass High School stands out with an 8.6, placing it among the city's top-performing secondary options.

The elementary landscape is notably stronger at the upper end than the high school landscape, so parents with younger children have more top-tier choices close to that 9-plus range. For older students, the gap between the highest-scoring high school and the city's top elementary scores signals that secondary options — while still competitive — vary more widely in quality.

Practically, New Orleans parents should start the search early. Open enrollment deadlines and application windows are firm, and the most sought-after schools fill quickly. Because attendance zones are largely replaced by choice-based enrollment, location matters less than it does in most cities — but transportation access to your selected school matters more. Cross-reference each school's score against its grade span, since a 6.5 average masks real differences between strong elementary pipelines and a more uneven middle and high school field. Prioritize visiting or contacting schools in the 7-and-above tier first, then work down based on your child's grade level and your family's logistics.
