How Harriet Tubman Charter School compares with Louisiana and U.S. medians
What stands out at Harriet Tubman Charter School
Harriet Tubman Charter School is a higher-need, large charter combined-grade school in New Orleans, Louisiana, enrolling 901 students.
Class loads run somewhat heavier than typical: 19.2:1 puts it in the larger third of Louisiana schools by student-teacher ratio.
Economic need runs somewhat above the state's typical profile, with 73.6% of students eligible for free meals.
By headcount it is one of the larger campuses in Louisiana, bigger than 91% of state schools at 901 students.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 97% of the 1,330 Louisiana schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Among 168 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Louisiana schools statewide, it ranks #154, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is led by African American (73%) and Hispanic or Latino (20%) (diversity index 43/100).
Counselor coverage runs a bit thin, about 300 students per counselor, somewhat past the ASCA-recommended 250:1 benchmark.
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 40.3% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 26.4% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
