Living School

Public, Charter Grades

Summary

Living School is a public charter high school serving 135 students in grades 9-12 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The school has a predominantly African American student population (79.26%) and serves a high-need community, with 46.67% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Living School is struggling, with proficiency rates well below the state average across multiple subject areas. For example, only 14% of students were proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to the state average of 62%. The school also ranks particularly low for specific student groups, such as 284 out of 308 high schools for female students and 308 out of 315 for male students. In contrast, nearby Benjamin Franklin High School consistently ranks among the top high schools in Louisiana, with 99-100% proficiency rates in several subject areas.

The data suggests that Living School faces significant challenges, including low academic performance, high poverty rates, and low rankings for specific student groups. However, the school's small size and recent improvements in student-teacher ratios (from 17.2 to 5.1) may present opportunities for targeted interventions and partnerships with high-performing schools or organizations to drive meaningful change and better support the needs of its students.
