Summary

Alice M Harte Elementary Charter School is a mid-sized, PK-8 charter school in the Algiers neighborhood of New Orleans, serving a student body where over 72% qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school has established itself as a solidly performing institution, consistently earning a 3-star state ranking and showing a strong upward trend from a low point in 2020-2021 to a peak in 2023-2024. While the most recent data shows a slight dip, Harte remains a standout performer compared to most of its immediate neighbors.

What truly sets Harte apart is its exceptional academic performance relative to nearby schools. In the 2025-2026 school year, Harte achieved a 63% proficiency rate in Math and 75% in ELA, a massive gap compared to nearby schools like Young Audiences Charter School (42% Math, 56% ELA) and Athlos Academy of Jefferson Parish (32% Math, 55% ELA). The only nearby school that outperforms Harte is Belle Chasse Elementary School (91% Math, 85% ELA), which serves a different district (Plaquemines Parish) and a more affluent student body. Harte also demonstrates strong resilience, rebounding strongly after the pandemic, and has a low chronic absenteeism rate of 17.6%, significantly lower than the state average of 22.5% and nearby schools like Dwight D. Eisenhower Charter School (31.0%).

While Harte excels overall, a closer look reveals a potential challenge in the middle school years, with 6th-grade Math proficiency (53%) and 6th-grade Social Studies proficiency (41%) both falling below the state average. However, the school's performance in advanced coursework is exceptional, with 100% of its students taking Algebra I and English I End-of-Course exams being proficient, a full 36 and 33 percentage points above the state average. This demonstrates that Harte is effectively preparing its 8th graders for rigorous high school coursework. The data paints a stark picture of educational inequality in the area, with Harte and Belle Chasse Elementary being islands of high performance, while schools in Jefferson Parish are consistently ranked in the bottom 10-20% of the state, suggesting that the charter school model, combined with strong local leadership, can overcome the challenges of a high-poverty student body.
