The school is part of the New Orleans Military & Maritime Academy district, which is ranked 74 out of 118 districts in Louisiana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past several years, New Orleans Military & Maritime Academy has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from a high of 21 out of 312 Louisiana high schools in 2014-2015 (5-star rating) to 209 out of 329 in 2024-2025 (2-star rating). This is in contrast to the nearby New Orleans Center for Creative Arts, which has consistently ranked in the top 10-33 high schools in the state and maintained a 5-star rating.

However, these nearby charter schools serve a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

THIS IS A FAIR WARNING TO ALL PARENTS. Do not send yor child or children to this school. The orientation is very convincing but the school itself is basically a alternative school. Parents have sent their troubled kids here to be straighten out. It's not structured, nor do facitily or staff care about the well being of your child. Gang fights, kids with guns at the school, bullying, drugs, peer pressure and more. Even a concern mother is ignored after serval attempts to to communicate with the school. THIS SCHOOL HAS MORE PARENTS PULLING THEIR KIDS OUT. This school should be close down. I am very disappointed with the school myself. Close Quote

This is an up and coming school! The school is only in it's fifth year, and it continues to improve every year. Test scores support my evaluation, and they improve yearly (they exceed LA averages across the board). A well disciplined, and well rounded and innovative school. I anticipate that this school will improve annually because of it's well rounded program, that continues to grow. Close Quote
