High Schools in New Harmony High Institute

Summary:

New Harmony High Institute is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in the New Orleans, Louisiana area. With a total enrollment of 355 students, the school has struggled to maintain a strong academic performance, ranking 280 out of 329 high schools in the state for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a low 1-out-of-5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's key metrics paint a concerning picture, with a four-year graduation rate of 83.2% and a dropout rate of 3.3%, both slightly worse than the state averages. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6% is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, New Harmony High Institute lags behind, with proficiency rates on LEAP/End of Course exams ranging from 27% to 45%, compared to state averages of 54% to 69%.

While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.1 to 1, this does not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes. The high percentage of students (46.48%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which can impact educational outcomes. Overall, the analysis indicates that New Harmony High Institute is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students and may need to implement targeted interventions to improve student performance.
