Summary:
In zip code 70130 (New Orleans, LA), there is one high school, International High School of New Orleans, serving grades 9 through 12 with a total enrollment of 380 students.
International High School of New Orleans, part of the Voices for International Business & Education district, shows a mixed academic profile. The school's strongest performance is in English II, where 69% of students are proficient, slightly above the state average of 67%. However, it struggles significantly in other core subjects, particularly Algebra I (26% proficient vs. 63% state) and U.S. History (39% proficient vs. 54% state). The graduation rate is 63.2%, well below the state average of 85.0%, and the dropout rate is a concerning 9.8%, more than three times the state average of 3.1%. Chronic absenteeism affects 27.7% of students, higher than the state's 22.5%.
A key takeaway is the stark contrast between English I and English II scores, suggesting a potential issue with the 9th-grade English curriculum or cohort. The school's challenges in foundational subjects like Algebra I and English I likely contribute to the high dropout rate and low graduation rate. With 60% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.2:1, the school appears to need additional resources to address chronic absenteeism and academic readiness. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 30% of Louisiana high schools over the past three years.
