Description
New Orleans College Prep was founded in 2006 by a group of local residents committed to a new vision of public education in New Orleans. In contrast to low-performing public schools that fail to focus on results, New Orleans College Prep leverages demanding, standards-based, and performance-driven instruction to drive dramatic gains in student achievement.
New Orleans College Prep provides all our students with a sound college preparatory education that rivals the academic rigor of the best private and public schools in the city. As a public charter school, New Orleans College Prep is publicly funded, independently managed, non-selective, and available tuition-free on a lottery basis to any child in Orleans Parish.
