Summary

KIPP Renaissance High School is a public charter high school in the Michoud neighborhood of New Orleans, LA, serving 445 students in grades 9 through 12 as part of the RSD-Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP) N.O. district. Over the past 14 years, the school has achieved a remarkable turnaround, climbing from the 12th percentile statewide in 2011-2012 to the 50th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 3-star rating. This sustained improvement is a testament to the school’s effective model and leadership, especially notable given that it shares a building with Sarah Towles Reed High School, which ranks in the 16th percentile—highlighting how a school’s approach, not just its location, drives success.

KIPP Renaissance stands out for its exceptional performance with African American students, ranking in the 79th percentile statewide for this subgroup and earning a 4-star rating. The school also boasts a graduation rate of 87.3%, above the state average of 85.0%, and a dropout rate of just 1.6%, roughly half the state average of 3.1%. In math, the school excels, with 86% of students proficient in Algebra I—significantly higher than the state average of 65% and outpacing nearby schools like Chalmette High School (75%). However, proficiency in English I (64%), English II (60%), U.S. History (46%), and Biology (51%) all fall below state averages, indicating room for growth in literacy and social studies.

Despite serving a high-need population—with 67.64% of students economically disadvantaged in 2014-2015, likely still high—KIPP Renaissance achieves above-average outcomes, ranking in the 61st percentile for low socioeconomic status students. This positions it as a strong middle-ground option in a diverse educational landscape, outperforming immediate neighbors like Abramson Sci Academy and G W Carver High School, while not being an elite magnet like Benjamin Franklin High School (99th percentile). For parents seeking a school that consistently helps students graduate and excel in math, KIPP Renaissance offers a proven track record of growth and commitment.
