Summary:

Zip code 70113 in New Orleans, Louisiana, is home to two charter high schools, The NET Charter High School and Opportunities Academy, which serve distinctly different student populations and educational missions, making direct comparisons between them misleading.

The NET Charter High School is a larger, more traditional high school serving grades 8 through 12 with an enrollment of 213 students. A critical concern for this school is its extremely high student-to-teacher ratio of 31.6:1, which suggests significant challenges in providing individualized attention, especially given that 77% of its students are economically disadvantaged. In contrast, Opportunities Academy is a very small, specialized school serving only 12th-grade students with an enrollment of 93. It has a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.4:1, likely a deliberate strategy to support its high-need population, where nearly all students (98.92%) qualify for free or reduced lunch. However, Opportunities Academy faces immense challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 42.9% and a graduation rate of just 40.0%, both far worse than state averages. Its low dropout rate of 2.0% is likely a statistical artifact of serving only seniors who have already persisted to their final year.

The most important takeaway for parents is that these two schools serve fundamentally different roles. The NET Charter High School functions as a standard charter high school but with a very high student-to-teacher ratio that may limit support. Opportunities Academy appears to be a specialized, last-chance institution for at-risk 12th graders, offering intensive support but struggling with severe absenteeism and low graduation rates. Notably, The NET Charter High School has no reported data for graduation rates, dropout rates, or chronic absenteeism, which prevents a full assessment of its performance and accountability.
