Summary:
The 70112 zip code area of New Orleans is home to a single public charter high school, the New Orleans Charter Science and Mathematics High School, which serves grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 623 students. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.7 to 1, it faces several challenges, including a declining statewide ranking, underperformance on key standardized tests, and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6%.
Academically, the school's proficiency rates on LEAP/End of Course exams are generally lower than the state averages, with the largest gaps in Algebra I (45% vs. 63%), Geometry (42% vs. 57%), and English I (49% vs. 69%). However, the school performs better than the state average in U.S. History (58% vs. 54%). The school's four-year graduation rate is 83.2%, and its dropout rate is 3.3%.
Socioeconomically, the school serves a population with significant challenges, as 69.34% of its students receive free or reduced-price lunch. This high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may contribute to the school's academic performance and overall ranking of 79 out of 118 districts in Louisiana, with a 2 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's leadership and the New Orleans Charter Science and Mathematics High School district may need to focus on addressing these areas to improve student outcomes and the school's overall standing.
