Summary:
The Voices for International Business & Education district in Louisiana operates a single public charter high school, the International High School of New Orleans, which serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 439 students.
The International High School of New Orleans faces several challenges, including a low four-year graduation rate of 83.2%, a high dropout rate of 3.3%, and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6%. The school's performance on standardized tests, such as LEAP and End of Course exams, is generally lower than the state averages, with the exception of English II where the school outperformed the state. Additionally, nearly 60% of the school's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant socioeconomic need among the student population.
Despite these challenges, the school has maintained a consistent low performance, ranking in the bottom quarter of Louisiana high schools over the past three school years. Addressing the issues of academic achievement, student engagement, and socioeconomic factors should be a priority for the school and the Voices for International Business & Education district to improve student outcomes and provide a high-quality education for the community.
