Summary:
The Voices for International Business & Education district in Louisiana contains a single public charter high school, International High School of New Orleans, which serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 439 students.
While International High School of New Orleans has a slightly below-average 4-year graduation rate of 83.2% and a lower-than-average dropout rate of 3.3%, it faces some significant challenges. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Louisiana high schools, and its students perform well below the state average on LEAP exams, particularly in math subjects like Algebra I (26% proficient vs. 63% state) and Geometry (37% proficient vs. 57% state). Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6%, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement.
With nearly 60% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, International High School of New Orleans serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the academic performance gaps observed. Targeted interventions and support in the areas of math instruction, attendance, and addressing the needs of economically disadvantaged students could be important steps to help improve outcomes for this school.
