District-Level NCES Analysis
Rosenwald Collegiate Academy operates 1 public schools serving 338 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Louisiana. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 high schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Orleans Parish.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $16,005 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 188 Louisiana districts by per-pupil spending. See how Louisiana compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 35.5% local, 36.6% state, and 27.9% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 72/100, ranked #25 of 175 in Louisiana against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 1 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 413:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 47.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 60.8% African American, 34.1% Hispanic or Latino, 3.6% White across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Rosenwald Collegiate Academy, enrolling 413 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Rosenwald Collegiate Academy accounts for 100.0% of all Rosenwald Collegiate Academy student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Rosenwald Collegiate Academy a distant remainder — means Rosenwald Collegiate Academy-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Rosenwald Collegiate Academy has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 82.8% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility — including this one — receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Rosenwald Collegiate Academy student-counselor ratio is 413:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Rosenwald Collegiate Academy chronic absenteeism rate is 47.0% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
