Summary:

This analysis examines four elementary charter schools in the 70114 zip code of New Orleans, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 2,688 students, an area characterized by high economic need where the average free/reduced lunch rate is 85.7%.

There is a stark contrast between schools in this area. Martin Behrman Charter Academy of Creative Arts & Sci has the highest economic need (95.9% free/reduced lunch) but the most favorable student-teacher ratio at 8.6:1, suggesting a strategic investment in individualized attention. In contrast, Noble Minds has the highest student-teacher ratio (17:1) and is facing severe academic challenges, including a state ranking in the bottom 1% of Louisiana elementary schools, a 30.6% chronic absenteeism rate, and a 6.8% dropout rate for a K-8 school. Harriet Tubman Charter School is the largest school (901 students) with the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (76.91%), while Dorothy Height Charter School falls in the middle with a 14.7:1 student-teacher ratio and 79.84% free/reduced lunch rate.

A critical finding is that three of the four schools—Harriet Tubman, Dorothy Height, and Martin Behrman—do not report state rankings, test scores, chronic absenteeism, or dropout data, making it impossible to compare their academic performance to Noble Minds or state averages. This lack of transparency leaves a significant gap in understanding the full educational landscape. Overall, while all schools serve a high-poverty population, the data reveals that resources and outcomes vary dramatically, with Noble Minds showing clear signs of crisis and the other schools operating without public accountability metrics.
