Summary

Warren Easton Charter High School in New Orleans, LA, is a large urban high school serving 1,138 students in grades 9-12 under the Warren Easton Charter Foundation Inc., with nearly 75% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

Warren Easton excels at keeping students on track to graduate, boasting a 92.5% graduation rate that far exceeds the state average of 85.0% and a very low 1.1% dropout rate. This is a clear strength compared to nearby schools like Walter L. Cohen High School (68.3% graduation) and International High School of New Orleans (63.2% graduation). However, the school faces a serious challenge with chronic absenteeism, which has skyrocketed to 50.8%—more than double the state average of 22.5% and the highest among its peers. For context, the nearby New Orleans Charter Science and Mathematics High School has a chronic absenteeism rate of just 8.4%, despite serving a similar student population. This attendance crisis is likely driving a sharp decline in academic proficiency, with Warren Easton now falling below the state average in every subject after previously meeting or exceeding it in most areas.

This creates a paradox: the school is highly effective at graduating students but struggles to ensure they are academically prepared along the way. The most dramatic drops are in Algebra I (from 62% proficient to 35%) and U.S. History (from 65% proficient to 26%). While the school has historically performed well for its African American students, recent data shows a significant decline across all student groups, particularly for low-income students, who now rank in the 24th percentile statewide. The contrast with New Orleans Charter Science and Mathematics High School suggests these challenges are not solely due to demographics but point to school-specific issues with engagement and support systems that need urgent attention to preserve the school's strong foundation in student retention.
